Alright, let’s talk about them NBA All-Star 2012 jerseys, you know, the ones them fellas wore back in the day. I ain’t no fancy basketball expert or nothin’, but I can tell you what I saw, what I heard, and what folks were squawkin’ about.
First off, them jerseys, they had these big ol’ letters on ’em, sayin’ “East” and “West.” Big and bold, like, couldn’t miss ’em even if you tried. Reminded some folks of them jerseys from, what, ’92? I dunno, I wasn’t payin’ too close attention back then, too busy tryin’ to keep the chickens outta the garden.
Now, the colors, that’s somethin’ I do remember. They called it “dip-dyed hardwood heather.” Sounded fancy, but to me, it looked like they took them jerseys and dunked ’em in some dye, kinda like how I used to dye my old curtains. But hey, it looked alright, I guess. Not too flashy, not too plain.
Folks were always yappin’ about how them All-Star games were more about showin’ off clothes than playin’ ball. And I gotta say, they mighta been right. Them jerseys, they were part of the show. Shiny and new, all the players lookin’ like they just stepped outta a magazine. Made me wonder if they could even dribble with all that fancy get-up on.
- Them jerseys, they were made by a company called Adidas.
- They had some kinda special mesh, somethin’ called “REV30.” Sounded like somethin’ out of a spaceship movie to me.
- They even had special warm-up suits, matchin’ the jerseys. Everything all coordinated, like a buncha peacocks struttin’ their stuff.
I heard tell you could buy them jerseys online, on somethin’ called eBay. Folks were sellin’ ’em, tradin’ ’em, fightin’ over ’em, probably. Me? I wouldn’t spend good money on a basketball jersey, not when I could buy a whole new set of pots and pans for that price. But hey, to each their own, I always say.
And them video games, they had them jerseys in there too. My grandson, he used to play them games all the time. Showed me how the little fellas on the screen were wearin’ the same jerseys as the real players. Fancy technology, that is. Back in my day, we played basketball with a beat-up ball and a hoop made outta an old barrel.
Now, I also remember hearin’ about some kinda skills game they played durin’ All-Star weekend. Two fellas, shootin’ balls from different spots on the court. Each spot worth a different amount of points. Sounds like a good way to show off, if you ask me. But again, I’m more interested in seein’ if them fellas can make a decent free throw when the game’s on the line.
So, them 2012 All-Star jerseys, they were a thing, alright. Folks talked about ’em, folks bought ’em, folks played video games with ’em. Me? I just watched from the sidelines, shakin’ my head at all the fuss. But hey, it’s all part of the show, ain’t it? And as long as them fellas are havin’ fun and not causin’ too much trouble, I reckon it’s alright.
One more thing, I heard the jerseys changed every year, always somethin’ new and different. Keeps folks buyin’ ’em, I guess. It’s like them fancy cars, always comin’ out with a new model, makin’ you feel like your old one ain’t good enough no more. But me, I’m stickin’ with my old ways, thank you very much. Give me a good, solid game of basketball, and I’m happy. Don’t need all them fancy clothes and flashy lights.
Anyways, that’s about all I got to say about them NBA All-Star 2012 jerseys. They were jerseys, they were colorful, and folks seemed to like ’em. End of story, as far as I’m concerned.
