Trey Kerby of The Blowtorch searches high and low across the Internet for NBA-related goods you never knew you needed. You know, phenomenal swag. Email Ball Don't Lie any relevant products you find here.
No offense, Nike marketing team, but if this "MVPuppets" meme doesn't die soon, people are going to start parodying it on the Internet. (Whoops!) But seriously, this thing won't go away. Want more evidence? The fake T-shirts are happening.
First Cuts had the first bootleg one about a week ago, and Skeets (via BDL reader Johnny P) hipped me to the one displayed here last night while we were talking about Bernoulli's principle. Obviously the shirt isn't fake in the sense that it doesn't exist, because it does. But to these piercing blue eyes, it looks like someone got a nice screenprint and put it on one of those blank Nike shirts your dad got from the outlet store. You know, the ones he wears golfing. Nonetheless, as far as these things go, it looks pretty well done, though the Kobe puppet certainly has a "V for Vendetta" look to him. Creepy.
Adding to its legitimacy, we have absolutely no idea how or where you can buy this (UPDATE: right here), but I'd guess they're pretty abundant in Cancun's open-air market.

Or
Kobe with a crown on his head. "Real King, baby."
