There's a DINO RADJA jersey on ebay now!

[cordobes]

I was a great fan of Dino (even before he joined the Celtics, when he was playing for Jugoplastika, with Kukoc et all). That step-crossover movement he had in the low post was marvelous to see. IIRC, he left the NBA because he was so out-of-shape when he was traded to Philly.

I read that he failed medical(physical) when he was traded.

Love the jersey but it is huge (Size 52 XXL!!)

It's good to know that Radja jerseys still exist and I will have one someday.

I think in some ways Philly realized the error of their trade and found a way for him to fail the physical, but I guess my surprise is that he ended up out of the league after being productive on an albeit pretty bad team

$29!

OK, I'm officially out of the running.  I love Dino and all...but

Yeah. That's my fault for driving it up. Sorry. I just want that jersey, and it's rare to find ANY Celtics jersey in XXL without buying it from Mitchell & Ness . I love M & N jerseys of the Celtic greats -- and I respect those who want to go out and buy Pierce and Allen and Garnett jerseys -- but I like getting jerseys for players that most casual fans would never think to get but who hold a special meaning in Celtic history for anyone who follows the team. Of all the players in the last 20 years, the three jerseys I want most are:
1.) Reggie Lewis (do I even need to explain why?)
2.) Dino Radja (because I entered my teenage years shortly after Reggie Lewis died, and he was the first recognizable post-Lewis face of the Celtics)
3.) Zan Tabak (OK, he's not really a special Celtics player. But when I used to play NBA Live 98 on the N64 with my buddy Dave, he'd ALWAYS pick the Celtics, put Tabak in, and drop a 30-20 on me with him. I could stop Shaq, Payton, Reggie Miller, Pippen, Jordan . . . but for some reason Tabak was a beast. Go figure.)

As an aside, if you like classic jerseys, check out Lakeshow2's eBay store at http://stores.ebay.com/lakeshow2 . . . He's one of only two sellers licensed to sell M & N defects (i.e., "the white band on the arm is 1/16" larger than it should be, so we can't call it authentic."), and often times you can get ridiculous deals on legitimate M & N jerseys. I got a Cousy and a Havlicek jersey there for $90 total.

Sweet i'm checking out his site.
Are they all defects and if so, how badly are they defected usually?

Yes, they're all defects. But they're not defective as in "horribly misshapen". It's just that M & N advertises themselves as making AUTHENTIC jerseys. If the white band on the warm-up jacket Bill Russell used during the 1956-1957 season was 5/32" wide, and they only make it 1/8" (4/32") wide, then they can't call it authentic. Still, they also know that a large part of the population isn't going to care if it's 1/32" too thin, especially since the quality of the jersey is MUCH better than what you generally find in, say, a replica you'd buy on ESPN. Since they can't sell it as authentic but they know people will still buy it, they can at least sell it as a high-quality replica. But, of course, they can't sell them all themselves. Hence, they worked out a deal with two eBay dealers (Lakeshow2 and Nick's Lockerroom) to sell these. They get their profit, and the eBay dealers get to say they market real M&N jerseys.

Honestly, I've bought a bunch of stuff from Lakeshow2, and I'm convinced they're real M&N jerseys. I've also, because I'm paranoid, contacted M&N, and they've verified that Lakeshow2 really is an authorized dealer of M&N jerseys.
