  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
I don't own much NBA stuff at all.  I've got a haggard old pair of Celtics shorts and I think I have a Celtics hat floating around somewhere.  Back in the day I don't think I owned much of any Celtics gear.  Finding Celtics clothes in North Dakota in the mid-90s was the equivalent of finding a nehru jacket for sale in a Baby GAP.  I remember owning some hideous Magic, Trailblazers, and Warriors clothes.  I refused to wear Lakers and Bulls stuff, but would accept anything else.  I almost bought an Eric Montross jersey of a discount rack, but sadly they didn't have it in the husky teen size that my girth demanded.

I gave you some TPs, but it doesn't match my amusement at your answer. Lil bio, I grew up in the wastelands of the 'north country', a part of NY that borders canada and has basically nothing going on outside of some small colleges. My middle school/early highschool jersey rotation consisted of a terrible Karl Malone jersey (the horrible old jazz ones with the mountains), a #3 Umass jersey, and a Larry bird jersey that Saw way too much tween angst.

  Sounds like the kind of excess clothing that ends up in places like Africa. Maybe that's the next step if it doesn't sell in the Dakotas.

I remember wearing a ridiculous Orlando Magic T-shirt that had the Magic logo inside a giant crystal ball.  It was Starter brand, which was pretty boss in 1993, so I wore it with pride.

No other NBA team gear. In fact, in high school I got a Charlotte Hornets hat in a pack and gave it away. Maybe if it was a KG (Wolves), MJ, Penny (Magic) jersey I'd have kept it.
Now, I'd think about KD, Bogut, KG or Pierce as options.

I had some original Charlotte Hornets stuff from back in the 80's and 90's. I'm not sure If I still have it or not. It was a really big deal for us having that team back then. And they gave me a chance to see Larry Bird in person.

I own very little professional sports team gear at all except for a few Ravens shirts (which I wear to the Ravens/Bengals games I attend).  I do own a couple of Celtic hats and one t-shirt.  When I was a kid I was given a Return Flight #45 t-shirt (you know when jordan came back he wore 45 that first season), which I think I still have have.

I might have an ancient Magic hat and Charlotte Hornets hat buried somewhere.  But I definitely didn't buy them, they were hand-me-downs and I haven't worn them since I could spell NBA.

David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels

I used to have a Wally Szczerbiak minnesota jersey when I was 12 years old, No clue who gave it to me or where I got it from, but I only own Celtics gear, a couple of Celtics Snapbacks Rondo KG and PP jerseys.

 My mom (she didn't know any better..lol) got me a Lakers shirt because she couldn't remember which team it was I liked and figured it was the Lakers  :-X   :-\ I gave her a lesson that day....lol, but I didn't throw it away since she bought it,but I honestly don't know where it's at in my house.

I don't know if it was just easy to come by, but it seemed like everyone in the 90's had something with the Magic,Bulls, or Hornets.

Even though I am a Celts fan, I am also an NBA fan and like jerseys from other teams as well.

Currently I have a Durant Thunder road jersey, Carmelo Knicks road jersey and yes, I also own a Kobe Lakers gold jersey.

Not a Lakers fan, but I've always liked their home jerseys.

My pic is now, and will be Fab Melo until he posts his first official NBA dbl-dbl. This may be permanent.
