Cool to see the lineup pic. My expectations are still down after the news about Yao being on a chain though. Probably not going to be able to produce his usual numbers with limited time. Excited for the season, and yes, we certainly have a diverse S5. A Chinese guy. A South American guy. A black guy. A partially black guy. And a Kevin Martin.
I found some more pics from Media Day at 'Hoop China' ... http://bbs.hoopchina.com/1009/1564140.html --------------------------- Yao Ming Jordan Hill Chuck Hayes Courtney Lee Luis Scola ------------------------- I'm not really digging the new font.... --RB
Hey look! Yao is not putting all the weight on his foot! he is still injured!!! nooo! this season is going to suck! :grin: btw, Im joking (in case your sarcasm meter is broken)
is it me or does the shade of red they used for the numbers are different from the actual red shade of team font and trims? also, the numbers on the unis look like it was ironed on. me no likey! they really need to change up the jerseys to a classic look and enough of this futuristic, artistic crap!
The numbers are actually stuck on with a heat application! So you saying they were ironed on is not too far off! They used this process to lighten the uniform! How much can a little thread around the numbers add in weight? There is a video on NBA.com that explains the new uniforms.
ah I see. I agree, what's a few threads gonna change the total weight of the jerseys significantly? oh well, whatever floats their boats.
have y'all actually seen the authentic jerseys? The numbers arent sewn on with a "little thread", it's quite a lot...not to mention it probably stiffens the border of the number, when you crouch down, for example, you can feel it more, so i can see where it would help lighten it and make it more comfortable..

Can we get the trainers to get battier, chuck, hill, and scola to work out their upper back some more? Pretty significant forward arm/shoulder rotation on all of them...they also happen to be the "worse" shooters in these pics..
