Summer is a time for fashion statements, and nothing will blow away your drunk friends at a BBQ like a nice obscure NBA jersey.  Lets look at my top 3 for this summer.

1.) Hakeem Olajuwon – Toronto Raptors

As far as i’m concerned the best looking jerseys in the NBA are the Golden State Warriors, but nothing beats this Olajuwon Toronto Jersey from his 2 year stint there in the early 2000’s.  Get this jersey and immediately break the ice with anyone (well, at least sports-loving dudes. Not promising any chicks) you’re with.

2.) Dominique Wilkins – Boston Celtics

In 1994 “The Human Highlight Film” graced the parquet floor of the Boston Garden. While his time with the Celtics was not memorable, this jeseyt should never be forgotten.

3.) Karl Malone – Los Angeles Lakers

In the 03-04 season Malone joined up with Kobe, Shaq, and Gary Payton to make a NBA Finals run that would end by being decimated by the Pistons 4-1 in the series.  While Malone isn’t one of my favorite players, the Mailman’s Laker threads cannot be denied.

If all else fails, do what I did.  I made myself a Celtics #11 Drew Bledsoe jersey.
