The
Cleveland Cavaliers have unveiled some uniform changes for next season
after being knocked out of the playoffs by the Orlando Magic. Starting
next year, LeBron James will wear a special uniform for all games, that
happens to look exactly like that of the New York Knicks.
"The
Knicks and Nike have asked that they be allowed to start marketing him
in Knicks gear a year early," said GM Danny Ferry. "In exchange for a
nice sum of money, coupled with the fact we all know this move is
inevitable, we have allowed this to happen.
"We are a bit
concerned about confusion when we actually play the Knicks in a game,
but the NBA says they will put extra referees on the court to make sure
baskets are attributed to the proper team. League officials have been
very helpful in this uniform change, and they told us whatever they
needed to do to get LeBron into a major market, they would make happen."
James himself says he is looking at next year as a good tryout of the blue and orange.
"This
will be a great way to see if just putting on that uniform will make me
as bad as the rest of that franchise has been for the last decade,"
said James when asked about the new uni. "Plus I don't have to wear
that awful red thing anymore, I get royalties from all new jersey
sales, and I can stand out better so that my teammates can feed me the
ball for 30-40 shots per game. This way, I don't see a reason why I
can't take every shot our team attempts next year. It's going to be
great, I just love New Yo...I mean Cleveland. It's a great city."
