Other than goalies, soccer players aren't constantly putting their hands above their shoulders, like basketball players are. Apples and oranges.

Even with all the Magic quotes posted, the Heat media protesting a player of the week award is probably the dumbest thing I've read today.

im talking about looks.
surely you don't belive this horse **** about they can't shoot with sleves?

No, I don't think that it has an impact on shooting. But I think that's in part because the sleeves are very minimal on the current jerseys. If the sleeves get bigger or heavier, there could be an impact. Would it be a huge impact? Probably not. But why force players to wear stuff they're not completely comfortable with.

they do have a point though, melo didnt have to deal with face masks and sleeves so his stats are not that impressiveEven with all the Magic quotes posted, the Heat media protesting a player of the week award is probably the dumbest thing I've read today.

again, that's a fit problem not a sleeve problem. Wear a bigger shirt and the sleeves won't ride up.

It's just stupid, there is no reason for the jerseys to have sleeves, it's a case of trying to fix what's already working

it's a way to make more money. next thing is probably sponsorship on jerseys. ya talking about tattoos, etc. the nba has embraced the hip hop culture. just look at their commercials and entertainment during gms and their marketing in general.

But when you consider that a large percentage of the players in the NBA who have tats don't just have them on their shoulders, and that the sleeved jerseys are only used occasionally, it seems pretty illogical the NBA came up with putting tiny sleeves on jerseys to cover up tattoos.

And all Star-Weekend. There's not an event associated professional sports that embraces pop/hip-hop culture more than NBA all-star weekend.

unless sleeves go full time

Unless they add long sleeves and turtle necks, some players would still have some very visible tattoos.

thats the loudest complaint white america has about the NBA since AI came into the L in 96.. they could just be testing them out gauging fan reactions.. you can come up with a million reasons why theyre introducing them.
i personally prefer jerseys because theyre just better than playing in tees.

Attitudes towards tattoos have changed tremendously since '96. I don't see why they would introduce sleeves just now in 2014 with that in mind.

Does anyone here consider the Bulls actual contenders? Everyone has them going to the second round as if Washington isn't there first round opponent. Wiz are working on a season sweep of them folks.
