Correction....they are wearing NBA stuff which is just (unfortunately
) sponsored by Adidas....if it were just Adi-wear they probably wouldn'twear it, due to their own endorsements or choice, or whatever. I do tend to cringe a bit when I see Bibby in his Jays rocking those NBA/Adi leg sleeves, but Iwon't particularly call it "troubling" as you said though....but I do see what u're getting at...

I'd call it a
Reach...
Not troubling...
Adi sponsers the NBA....and players who dont have more than Footwear Contracts just use whats in the equipment room...but you have friends in the L.. so youshould know that right?
Adi doesnt see it as troubling with all their Contract athletes who wear Jordans and Nikes Off court.. hell even Hova and Iverson wore Nikes off court andthey were Reebok folks...
I dont think Nike nor anyone else loses sleep, when Nike actually will put the logo of a competitor in their commercials.
Good fodder for banter though

It's seriously not that serious.
Reebok did a better job at outfitting the NBA in my opinion.

The replacement refs should be more troubling than Nike players wearing Adidas Tech Fit.
Its really not that serious, its not like Nike is turning in their sleep at night because of this.

I would find it more troubling if they wore something that didn't work just because it was "their" brand. In the end, if it works for them andkeeps them from being injured, no problems at all. But I know where you are trying to take this.

Personally, I'm not one to gripe about something like this, I mean atleast they're not making players wear their shoes too
However, I really do miss Champion and Nike NBA gear.

that's interesting because absolutely NOTHING at all changed between the time reebok outfitted the NBA and adidas purchased them. the only change is thelogo on the uniform.

Naw, man! That is not NBA stuff! It's adidas stuff they went and slapped an nba logo on! Tech fit stuff is Adidas stuff! That said, it's only a matterof time before some of those players think that if Adidas's tech stuff is that good, that their shoes are that good as well!

I really don't think that you are in any position to speak on "obsessions", ya' know? But Nike is losing popularity, and I know that they,Nike, finds that troubling. Personally, I find it hysterical!

There are a few things that could be called "troubling" in this thread, and Bibby wearing calf sleeves isn't one of them.
You thinking your brand loyalty is anything different then anybody else here could be called troubling. There is one difference though, nobody here goes to ///message boards trying to lead the revolution and convert people to their own favorite brand.
You're like a door to door salesman, trying to sell us all a load of bull, too bad we will all continue to slam the door in your face...

aww crap, Coach Hubie is back.
I thought he wouldnt come back and try to start his "Anti-Nike-Zoom hurts-Fashion week prefers Adidas-I have friends in the "L" "routine....especially when he was clowned for claiming Birdman was suspended for 'roids instead of narcotics.
But I guess this guy really doesnt have a life and has to come to this message board full of "skateboarders" who are "blinded by theswoosh" and attempt to convert us......again x5 or 6.
Good luck with it Coach Hubie Jack Johnson. Heck, I still have my signature addressed to Jack Johnson.
Long time NTers with no life like myself know what a joke this cat is. You cant win with e-arguing with him and eventually his trolling gets him banned and hehas to come back to start more stuff.....because he has such a busy important life.
