i tell you what man... it expensive representing htown outside of htown. i always buy the authentic jersey of the stars of our teams so i can go and represent us outside of TEXAS. among the evil. i go to the rockets games any time they play the jazz. if you keep up with jerseys it can get expensive, when a guy like ron leaves i get extra pissed cause i spent two hundred bones or whatever on his jersey and then i'm stuck with it cause it now has no value. so i gotta go get an ariza jersey now. i'm not super bumbed cause i guarantee you i get the full 5 years out it (i bet morey sticks with his guy). anyways i gotta an adidas size 44 artest jersey sitting my closet and can't decide whether to just ebay it throw it away or burn it. can you tell the economy sucks?
I've never bought authentic because of the cost, but I hate even buying replicas. I have Steve Francis/Cuttino Mobley jerseys hanging in my closet that I don't really get to wear anymore. My brother bought me a Yao jersey for my B-day this year and who knows what will happen with him. I always keep my retro Olajuwon jersey just to be safe.
