It might not get you drafted, but fake it 'til you make it in the adidas NBA Swingman Road Jersey. Mesh body with two-inch drop tail and many features which duplicate the on-court jersey. Any logos featured on the on-court jersey are also included on the Swingman. Feel like a pro with screenprinted tackle twill front workmark, player name and front and back numbers and all those cool little details: embroidered NBA and adidas logos, side tab with NBA logo and adidas/NBA Swingman jocktag with alpha sizing on lower left. 100% polyester mesh (5.3 oz.)/100% polyester flat knit rib (10 oz.)/100% polyester braid. Imported. Plenty of details, plenty of ways to feel like a player. Just don't let it go to your head.The NBA and its players represent a game of extraordinary skill, athleticism and grace, and, for good or bad, set an example for the entire basketball world, on the court and off of it. Like everything there must be balance between the positive side of things and the negative and it is even better if the positive side outweighs the negative.
On the NBA we have on the positive side, the players passion for the game, their commitment to the fans and respect for the history and tradition of the game. In regards to the negative, while the NBA has worked meticulously to eliminate fighting from the game, incidents such as that Saturday night at Madison Square Garden between the Denver Nuggets and the New York Knicks show the public there is still much more to be done, or maybe tell us that the solutions are not being the ideal ones.
As a result NBA scoring leader Carmelo Anthony was suspended for 15 games and six other players were penalized as commissioner David Stern came down hard on both teams after the Nuggets and Knicks brawled at Madison Square Garden.
It is a shame for the fun of the game but the NBA is in its obligation to take the strongest possible measures to avoid such spectacles in the future and to make a statement to all who follow the game of basketball that they understand their obligations and take them seriously.
The main concern should be for the safety of the players and the fans, because when things such as these get out of hand you cannot predict or project where they're going to go.
