The NBA’s All-Star jerseys have absolutely no business being this bad

The NBA All-Star game is the biggest moment of the league’s regular season.

It’s a time when the NBA takes a pause to recognize the best of the best throughout the league. It’s really an appreciation of the game and its biggest stars and a pretty cool moment for basketball fans.

Which is exactly why I have no idea why the league’s All-Star jerseys are so bad this year.

Again, this is a huge moment. It’s one where you want everything to be perfect and memorable and to go without a hitch. You want everyone to feel good about it. And a big part of feeling good is looking good.

These newly unveiled jerseys do not look good. At all.

Honestly. I cannot believe this is really them. This is what the league’s biggest stars will wear. They look like practice jerseys to be completely honest. And this is what the league is wearing in its 75th anniversary season, too? Man. Come on.

We were hoping so badly that these weren’t it when they leaked last week. It just doesn’t feel like an All-Star jersey.

What’s worse is, if you compare these to the Rising Stars game jerseys or the Celebrity game jerseys, they don’t even come close to being as good or as fun.

I just have no idea how we got here, man. NBA fans rightfully roasted these into oblivion.
