This draft is too crazy

Ayton is going to be it, need to see him against better competition but he's already trending towards something really special

Hope he doesn't add too much more weight so he can take it easy on them feet and joints
 
Nike paid the NBA $1 billion to use its uniforms and 2 of the NBA's biggest stars are hiding the swoosh

The problem with the swoosh on the socks is that it is awfully close to the shoes, a big source of endorsement revenue in the NBA. Two NBA stars apparently don't want the swoosh anywhere near their non-Nike sneakers, Stephen Curry and James Harden.



Curry is the face of Under Armour in the NBA. Ever since Nike took over the uniform contract, Curry has been rolling his socks down, which hides the swoosh. Compare this to Kevin Durant's socks, as seen at the top of this post.

Meanwhile, Harden, who is the NBA face of Adidas, was rolling his socks down in a similar manner to Curry. However, as first noted by Paul Lukas of Uni-Watch, he appears to now be going to the extra length of just cutting the top of the socks off and removing the Nike logos altogether.

According to a source with the NBA, there is nothing in the NBA Operations Manual that would prohibit a player from rolling down their socks.
