Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

Hi Dave, thank you for filling us in. Didn't the Lakers and Heat also celebrate this event, I vaguely recall a friend saying something about Wade in those jerseys that he had a special night when he wore that.

The Lakers were definitely another because I saw it under the 'Recently Sold' on NBA Auctions bought by our buddy Mr. jtnbafan
I'm not sure if the Heat were as I didn't see one on their auction list, but doesn't mean the Heat weren't represented during that timeperiod.

mbenga28:
The jerseys, officially called "Noche Latina", or "Latino Night", were, as you surmised, worn for various Hispanic night celebrations at NBA games. Only a small number of teams wore these, though...the Knicks (Nuevo York), the Bulls (Los Bulls), the Suns (Los Suns), the Spurs (Los Spurs), the Mavericks (Los Mavs), and I may be forgetting one. All were home white styles, except for the Bulls (road red) and the Mavericks (alternate green).

Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

thanks i found it. better than mlb auctions.

what are the los latina jerseys? what are they?

I didn't pay too much attention to those but I think it was for one of the NBA special events to honor the fans of the Latino community.

Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

Excellent sportscentury, do you frame your game used jerseys? If not, how do you prefer to display them?

Also, could you or someone else explaint to me why NBA Auctions from time to time sell game used items that are sourced from the previous season? For example, right now they are auctioning three practice used basketballs used by the Lakers in last year's Finals. Why do they decide to hold onto the items and not sell the in proximity to when the events occur, but instead a year later?

I do not frame my jerseys, never have. I keep my jerseys hanging in the closet with individual suit covers or folded neatly in individual MeiGray boxes.

NBA Auctions does not list everything as soon as they obtain it, but I don't know why. E.g., Meigray's Mavs 07-08 Playoff jerseys were listed on NBA Auctions just a couple of months ago. I'm not sure if this is a selling strategy, or if it is more a case of listing items when possible. Barry may comment here, though many of the NBA Auctions items are not MeiGray items, so it may be more of an NBA.com issue.

Re: o/t-nba finals thread-lakers vs magic

little off topic but have any of you recently browsed nbagameworn.com? there's some very nice new arrivals, including some Christmas 2008 jerseys and other special events.

Some terrific additions, many of them at pretty low prices IMHO. I am picking up the Nowitzki 08-09 Playoff jerseys (he made All-NBA First Team again this year, and put up sick numbers in the Playoffs: 27 PPG, 10 RPG, 3 APG).

Other highlights are the Tim Duncan and Michael Finley game worn 2008 Christmas Day jerseys with the snowflake patch/logo.

The best revenge is success. Kobe didn't react to any of Shaq's nonsense, nor did Phil to Red's. They just continue to succeed.

indeed, surely this was just as sweet if not more:

"Laker forward Josh Powell(notes) played just 73 minutes during these playoffs, but he more than earned the sense of victory and relief that comes with his first championship ring. Needing money to support his family, Powell left North Carolina State in 2003. Long, skilled, athletic and tough he was so impressive at some of his workouts that he was briefly discussed as a lottery pick — although he ultimately went undrafted, and has played for several team overseas in the NBA in the interim. One of his workouts was for the Washington Wizards, where Patrick Ewing was then an assistant coach. After the workout, Ewing stunned Powell, by telling him that he would never make the NBA. Powell has not forgotten. 'Every time I see him,' he says, he remembers the words that once cut him. 'It was just motivation. I can't do nothing but respect it, if that's his opinion. It just drove me to go hard. It drove me to stay hungry.' About then, some NBA personnel came through the champagne-soaked Laker locker room with the gleaming NBA championship trophy. Powell finishes his thought, reaching for the trophy: 'Everything worked out for the best ... now let me see that thing right there ...'"
