The Brooklyn Nets are hosting the Orlando Magic in a little afternoon action today. Most people most likely have no idea the game is going on seeing as its the middle of an NFL Sunday, but that’s fine because this isn’t a game people need to watch.
So, why are we talking about this depressing Eastern Conference matchup? Well, because we have a sad NBA auction item to share with you. Yep, you guessed it, a Marquis Teague Nets jersey.

Haha, that’s wild, a Marquis Teague jersey. Teague only played 21 games for the Nets last year and now plays for the Oklahoma City Blue, the Thunder’s D-League team. I have so many questions about this.
Why do they even still have Marquis Teague jerseys? Is it game worn? Like, how did this even come about?
“Hey man, come here, I found this Marquis Teague jersey in the back. What should we do with it?”
“Ahh, I don’t know, just throw it away I guess.”
“Wait, wait, let’s put it up for auction before Sunday’s game.”
“Haha, yeah, nice dude. That would be hilarious.”
Okay, yeah, I think that’s probably how the conversation went.
