Porzingis has worn a T-shirt under his jersey multiple times.

Is there a rule against it? Kirk Hinrich once let a pile of compression sleeves in his jersey play for 8 minutes so I assumed there was no rule against what you wear as long as a ref doesn't call it a problem.

Yeah, that's what I am wondering. I've always assumed that there's a rule against it because you never see it (while it's a staple of NCAA basketball).

edit:

The Wiki entry says you can't wear shirts underneath your jersey in the NBA. But I can't find the actual rule.

edit 2:

quote:

Back in the 1980s, Ewing started wearing a T-shirt underneath of his Hoyas jersey for one reason and one reason only—comfort. He used to get cold during games, so he started wearing a T-shirt to keep warm.

"We started playing in these big arenas and it was always cold," he said recently, "especially when you have the ice down [for hockey games]. I was always complaining I was cold. I started wearing one and it became a fashion statement."

However, the NBA didn't buy into his fashion statement. He tried to get the league to allow him to wear a T-shirt underneath his Knicks jersey in 1985, but they wouldn't let him do it. So he thinks it's crazy to see how open they are to it today.

"The funny thing is when I got to the league they told me I couldn't do it," he said, "and now they let everybody do it. It's crazy and times have changed. And the women [T-shirt] jerseys that guys wear now, it's changed."

Porzingis is a Literal Halloween Spooky Skeleton so he definitely needs a shirt to retain body heat.

i thought t-shirts under jerseys weren't allowed, wasn't that a thing for Bulls Savior Doug McDermott because he used to always wear his big, baggy t-shirt under his jersey and creighton and presumably in the pool

He has his moments but he's holding the team back in the grand scheme of things. He's a black hole on offense. He's not making anyone better. The Knicks will never win a championship with him, so the sooner they lose him and spend that cap space elsewhere (to build around KP hopefully), the better. If we can get something in return for him, instead of him walking when his contract is up, I'm all for it.

Melo is a probably part of the reason why Porzingis is as successful as he is right now, though.

edit 2:

I think it's allowed on a case by case basis, you have to apply to the league for an exception. Howard, Porzingis, etc have it. For some reason centers like having the shirt underneath more?

Speaking of shirt conspiracy theories, I watched the Cavs play in sleeved jerseys the other day and it looked to me that while everyone else had tight sleeves, Lebron got one with loose sleeves. Since there was that high profile incident where he ripped the sleeves of his jersey to give him more room, I wonder if he's getting custom made shirt jerseys with bigger sleeves. Or maybe the league's offering two styles.

Or maybe I'm just an idiot and he's wearing a few sizes up for the sake of the sleeves. Rest of the jersey looked normal though.

The theory is that shirts are worn because it absorbs the sweat obviously, which means the floor is less wet when you hit the floor and wet floors are probably the biggest worry during the court.

I'm glad we're finally talking about KP's dang t-shirt. It's unsightly and it needs to go. His jersey always seems to get completely untucked after about a minute of running around, too, not sure what that's all about

Phil Jackson should really just retire.

The comments basically said what every Knicks fan has veen sayin for years, basically "Pass the loving ball, Melo"

But he didn't even say the f word!

I think that Cavs game was a decent demonstration of how quick he falls back into terrible habits and is kind of an overall liability.

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
The Knicks are fighting for the 6-8th seed, if they didn't have Melo they are no way a playoff team. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is debatable I guess, but for now I'd have thought that New York fans would just be happy to have a team that will win some games this year.

I think the Knicks winning games is a cool thing, but I'd rather they try and build a team around Porzingis than try and get something out of the last years of Melo. this draft is pretty deep, deep enough that I think they can find someone who can play at 10-12

One day after Carmelo Anthony was again caught in the crossfire of Phil Jackson’s provocative comments, Anthony took to social media Thursday to offer seemingly coded messages in response.

Jackson, the Knicks’ president, made some critical comments about Anthony’s play in an interview with CBS Sports Network on Wednesday, and that did not seem to sit well with Anthony.

“EGO is the only requirement to destroy any relationship,” Anthony wrote on Twitter, along with a picture of himself. “So, be a BiGGER person, skip the “E” and let it “GO.”

The idea of the league clandestinely offering the stars a competitive advantage of looser sleeves is appealing.

I'd probably prefer seeing LBJ and other players rip new and ugly jerseys each game:
