What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the rivalry between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics? A rich history of great basketball? Maybe. Magic versus Bird? Sure. Championship rings and parades? Absolutely. But for me there are 3 totally different images that come to mind.......
Butt-hugger shorts, tube socks and the NBA's greatest ever mullet and mustache combo. Can you imagine today's players driving down the lane in Daisy Duke shorts? Scary thought. Even scarier to think of Lebron out on a fast break, soaring through the air in a Jordan-esque spread eagle pose for a dunk. Nike's slogan for Lebron James is "I am a Witness". Sorry Lebron, but I would prefer not to witness you mid air with your Alabama Black Snake peaking out of the bottom of your shorts.
I have a suggestion for David Stern and the NBA. If you need some help with the female and gay demographics, have teams wear TRUE throw back uniforms a couple times each year. You can have each player come out of the tunnel to "It's raining men" led by a shirtless Reggie Miller with his sun around the belly tattoo (see "Time to Do Work Sun" post below).
Sorry. This post just took a turn for the worse. Time to move on.....
