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.
Let's consider the jersey T-shirt. On one hand, it's a shirt designed to look like a jersey, only tackier.
On the other hand, it isn't actually a jersey, which is a slight improvement. On the third hand (mutant division), it's still basically a jersey, which es no bueno.
However, there is one thing that can somewhat legitimize the jersey shirt in these piercing blue eyes: Chevy Chase.
Or more precisely: Fletch. Hence, the Fletch jersey shirt.
I have one significant quibble with this jersey shirt, which will be apparently obvious to any Fletch fans. The shirt says "Fletcher" on the back. And though I haven't seen the movie in years (and have to wait until tomorrow for my Netflixed copy to arrive), I certainly don't remember Irwin Fletcher's entire surname being on his jersey.
Just to fulfill my journalistic duties, I have confirmed that there are precisely zero Fletchers to ever play in the NBA, and the Internet agrees with me -- it's Fletch. Nonetheless, if you must own a jersey shirt, make it this one.

That will explain it all.
And He never went by Fletcher.
It was Fletch on the jersey.
RIP Chevy Chase's career.

I might get the shirt just 'cause. Either that, or get a personalized one with "Mikan" on the back on top of the "99."
