During the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game against the NY Knicks on Wednesday night, LeBron James tore the sleeves on his uniform in apparent frustration with the material that was draping his arms. But James isn’t the only player who clearly hates these sleeved jerseys – Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Kawhi Leonard have all complained about how restricting they are.
The sleeved jerseys were born out of their marketability toward fans who’d prefer to wear a sleeved t-shirt than a sleeveless jersey to support their team.
After scoring his 25,000 point during the Sixers earlier in the week, LeBron debuted the NIKEiD LeBron 13 “25K” option on-court against the NY Knicks last night.
“I was just frustrated with myself”, he said. I was struggling. So the only thing that came to mind was the jersey.
Cleveland Cavaliers outscored the Knicks 26-17 in the fourth quarter and beat them 98-86 for their fourth straight win.
In Oakland, California, Stephen Curry scored 31 points, including the go-ahead three-pointer with just over a minute to go that led defending champion Golden State to its fifth straight win to open the season. NY shot. 619 from the field (13-for-21) in taking a 32-18 lead after the first period, but was woeful from that point. They combined for 28 points through the first three quarters, but had just two in the fourth, as the Cavaliers started playing a little bit more seriously. The Cavs raced out to a 10-point lead in the first quarter, but the Sixers’ subs fought back against the Cavs’ reserves to take a 50-49 lead at the break.
James even went so far as to say that he and his teammates “love” the short-sleeve jerseys.
We’ve seen that type of play from LeBron countless times since he’s been in the league, but it never gets any less pretty.
Cleveland finally took its first lead, 70-69, on a Thompson dunk with 51.1 seconds remaining in the third, and that’s the way it stayed heading into the fourth. Cleveland coach David Blatt, who made his bones overseas as a coach, gave rave reviews.
“We know each other’s game”. When a team adds a new uniform to its collection, it must wear that jersey three to six times throughout the course of the season, according to the National Basketball Association.
