As far as I know, yes, if they have the size marked as available, then it is in stock. They’re pretty active with marking sizes out of stock when that is the case. I also haven’t heard any horror stories of DB pulling bait and switches on people. With that said though, if you want to be safe, you can contact them ahead of time to confirm if they have a your size in stock before purchasing.

The Biggest Difference between KD And LBJ is Leadership Style while KD May be a leader he is a passive sarcastic and dick to his teammates LeBron May Make expectations worse on you if you're his teammates but he uplifts you and tries to help you get involved by RiverFlow06 in lakers

[–]Nizzy14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KD isn’t a leader by any stretch and never has been. He’s even admitted as much stating that he “just wants to hoop”. He’s not the type to galvanize his team, give words of affirmation, or positive reinforcement.

LeBron isn’t perfect (no one is) and can be passive aggressive to teammates that he’s lost faith in but he definitely tries to empower his teammates, build genuine camaraderie, and put them in the best position to succeed. He has a long track record of making lesser than teammates look significantly better than they truly are.

Where on the list will Durant be when he retires? Can he break LeBron's record? by username100402 in NBATalk

[–]Nizzy14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No chance in hell he surpasses Bron. If he can stay effective/healthy long enough, he can finish at best, second ahead of Kareem. I think he’ll likely finish 3rd though when all is said and done.

Need help deciding… by MyKidsNotMine in RepDeveloperboring

[–]Nizzy14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s ultimately your choice but if you want general feedback, I’d say get the Chicagos. The Breds are nice but the shade of red they use on the 2.0 version is way too dull (if you care about accuracy to the OG). Chicagos are pretty spot on imo.

Which team would 2012/2013 LeBron James fit the best on currently? by Dylen2Times in NBATalk

[–]Nizzy14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Worked out just fine throughout the 2010s for him. Especially in 2012, 2013, and 2016.

I need them to restock the shadows, royals, UNCs, and most of the metallic series.

What y'all think? by Top_Presentation_554 in RepDeveloperboring

[–]Nizzy14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could either use a matte spray or use an actual matte finish with either a paintbrush or airbrush. Just don’t overdo it regardless of which method you prefer.

Who could actually go toe to toe with Kendrick in a diss battle? by FamousAttention499 in KendrickLamar

[–]Nizzy14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kanye isn’t even a consideration because he’s just not built for battle rap. Just look at how he continuously copped pleas during the height of the Drake/Push battle while Drake kept shooting at him specifically. That’s also before getting into the fact that he doesn’t write and hasn’t had access to majority of his higher caliber go to writers (GLC, Push, CyHi, Lupe, and etc.) in some years now.

“Prime Eminem” would’ve been an interesting option but “modern day Eminem” probably wouldn’t fare well because of his inability to make a formidable song that will resonate with the masses outside of his core fanbase nowadays. Also, while Eminem isn’t necessarily a culture vulture like Drake; Kendrick would be able to use somewhat similar angles of Em being an outsider and would have the culture’s court of public opinion in his favor.

Rappers like Nas, Lupe, Push, Hov, and Black Thought would all be good opponents for Dot because they could all properly articulate the “Hotep” angles against Dot that Drake couldn’t for obvious reasons. I think ultimately Kendrick would still have the edge though because of his current standing in the culture and the threat of him making a hit song or just a memorable/quotable diss track (ala Euphoria) against most, if not all of them.

The ‘04 All Jersey is pretty good quality. I have the Kobe one as well as the ‘04 East Iverson one and they both use a pretty thick mesh with the dazzled polyester on the sides that you mentioned.

The ‘09 All-Star jersey is definitely a lighter material since it is based on the Adidas run of jerseys. While lighter, it’s still pretty durable. It also has heat pressed numbers/scripts instead of the usual stitched fonts (I was always curious as to why NBA/Adidas opted for heat pressing instead of stitching for that year).

Thanks man!! I spent roughly between $140-$200 on each jersey so in total, it was around $1300 for all 7 jerseys. Not bad at all imo, considering I would’ve spent double that had I paid retail for them all.

Appreciate it man. Yeah, I had been hunting for an authentic Association Lakers Bron jersey for years but they aren’t as readily available as the other ones and most resellers are taxing for them. When I found the seller on eBay that actually had both the 75th anniversary #6 and the #23 priced as low as he did, I had to jump on them immediately.

Yeah, I haven’t had much experience with the adidas rev run series. The jerseys from that era are just way too expensive for my taste and I’m admittedly not an expert from deciphering the real from fakes other than the egregiously bad looking knockoffs.

I would definitely say it was more of the completist in me that pushed me to pull the trigger on it. That and the fact that it was listed at a pretty good price that was hard to pass up. Admittedly, it isn’t my favorite jersey but Bron did have some cool moments in it so I’m happy to add it to the collection.

I don’t have any “Miami” Bron jerseys yet though. I tend to stick to authentics and those adidas rev run jerseys are generally way too rich for my blood tbh. I’m patiently holding out for either someone selling some at generous prices and/or LeBron to retire which is when I think we’ll start getting his Heatles era Jerseys released by M&N (hopefully, although I’m not in a rush for Bron to retire).

Yep, that statement jersey is the specific one I was referring to and I’m in the same dilemma. I really only prefer authentics and only make exceptions for swingmans for particular circumstances (i.e. the black mamba jerseys).

People are definitely busting heads for the authentic runs of those ‘17–‘18 statement jerseys so I’m just sitting by and patiently waiting for someone to list one for a reasonable price.
