Thank you Barry for the information!

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

Hi Nickacs,

No, the jerseys were photographed before they were sent to the teams, so it had nothing to do with first half/second half.

We authenticated the jerseys after the game, since a few players did change at halftime. That information has been updated in the auctions as follows:

For Los Angeles, Lamar Odom changed jerseys at halftime, so his first half jersey is the one up for auction.

For Orlando, Jameer Nelson, Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu changed jerseys at halftime, so their first half jerseys are the ones up for auction.

Regards, Barry

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

I'm curious to know why you feel this way doodle? Winners of the auctions did nothing wrong, they placed their bids to their highest price they could afford and won. Is there a problem?

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

Hi Barry,
Thanks for offering these jerseys again! I was curious, last night I went on the auctions.nba website and saw most of the Game 1 jerseys already up to bid on by the 3rd quarter? Does this mean the players wore one jersey for the 1st half and a new one for the 2nd half?

Thanks!

Hi Mbenga,

Spacing for sewing at the bottom of the jerseys is the reason the tags were placed where they were for these sets.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

They should just make this a private auction for jtnbafan (previously known as exquisite613).

He would at times wait for the last 3 minutes before putting a bid on those Latin Nights jersey to tease the previous high bidder.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

Hi Barry, could you tell us why the MeiGray security tagging is now on top of the jocktagging with the Finals jerseys and will this change be applied to all future game worn/issued NBA jerseys as well? thanks.

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

thanks Barry, safe trip to LA and enjoy the game!

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

Not sure yet, Mbenga.

Last year, I flew them back from Boston the next AM.

LA's a little further away, so they might go up later in the week. Still to be determined.

We'll provide an update when it is determined.

Thanks, Barry

Re: NBA Finals jerseys

one more question Barry are the jerseys going to be on display at the NBA Store like with last year? Thanks!
