Legendary NBA Jerseys: Bird, O'Neal and Antetokounmpo

The legendary jerseys pay tribute to players who have made their mark on a franchise. Larry Bird wore the number thirty-three for the Boston Celtics from 1979 to 1992, winning titles in 1981, 1984, and 1986. Shaquille O'Neal, an exceptional center, was crowned three times in a row with the Los Angeles Lakers from 2000 to 2002, wearing number thirty-four. Giannis Antetokounmpo, drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2013, led the franchise to the title in 2021. A jersey is worn loose, at your usual size or one size up for an oversized fit; the women's models offer a more fitted cut.

NBA Ball and Mini Dribbler Ball in Franchise Colours

Wilson has been making the official NBA ball again since 2021; the brand previously supplied the league's first balls in 1946. The Tribute balls, in the colours of franchises like the New York Knicks, feature the team's logo, perfect for playing outside or decorating a fan's room. The NBA Dribbler mini balls represent each team, from the Atlanta Hawks to the Toronto Raptors, in a small bouncing ball that fits in the hand and is collectible. For club play, a composite ball is reserved for the court, while a rubber model withstands the roughness of asphalt on playgrounds.

Other Sports on Clearance

The clearance is also available in other sports: football, running, lifestyle, bicycles, motorcycles, handball, equestrian, camping, on the clearance page.

Shorts, T-shirts and Caps: the Fan's Outfit

The basketball shorts are long, knee-length, with an elastic waistband and lightweight fabric: the Washed version from the Los Angeles Lakers, with a faded look, can be worn in the city as well as on the court. The T-shirts in Lakers colours feature the franchise's purple and gold, which has been based in Los Angeles since 1960 after starting in Minneapolis. At New Era, an American brand founded in 1920 in Buffalo, the NBA caps showcase each team's embroidered logo, with either a flat or curved visor depending on the model. American sizes often run large: compare the measurements on the guide before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if a basketball is properly inflated?

According to FIBA regulations, a ball dropped from about one meter eighty should bounce between one meter twenty and one meter forty. Inflate it to the pressure indicated near the valve, using a humidified needle to avoid damaging it.

How many teams are in the NBA?

The NBA consists of thirty franchises divided into two conferences, East and West, each split into three divisions. The Toronto Raptors, who joined the league in 1995, are the only team based outside the United States.

What size basketball is right for a child?

Size five is for children in basketball school, size six is for girls and women as well as young boys, and size seven is for men and teenagers around fifteen years old. A ball that is too big can discourage younger players from dribbling.

How do I wash an NBA jersey without damaging it?

Turn the jersey inside out, wash it at thirty degrees on a delicate cycle without fabric softener, which can alter the technical fibres. Avoid the tumble dryer and iron on the numbers and letters; flat drying or hanging preserves the shape.

What is the difference between a swingman jersey and an authentic jersey?

The authentic jersey mirrors the cut and materials worn by the players, featuring stitched numbers; the swingman, a fan version, uses heat-pressed numbers and has a more comfortable cut for everyday wear. Retro jerseys follow vintage designs.
