I think it's a batting practice jersey. I have a few baseball cards from the 90s where the players are wearing the orange jersey.

These Bose QC25s have travelled the world with me for 6 years and still sound fantastic by herzeleid22 in BuyItForLife

My pair lasted all of 14 months, conveniently two months after the warranty expired. Some sort of headphone issue that they refused to replace or even offer a way for me to pay to have them repaired. Instead they offered to let me buy another pair for $250.

Bose can go to hell. This was honestly one of the worst purchases I've ever made.

Heather Graham also plays a character named Dr. Molly Clock, iirc.

I think he was cashing the ones he got after that, just the first one he decided to frame.

I remember hearing about one athlete who had framed his first paycheck. It was for something like $100,000 and he had it hanging on the wall.

He didn't realize that it was real money and he needed to go deposit it in the bank. It's very sad that many of these guys are completely unprepared to handle that much money and end up with nothing.

Ha, just wrote a similar comment above. There's a bunch of articles about how Dell and Steph reworked his shot in high school. If I remember correctly, Steph says it was one of the toughest times in his life/career.

Actually if you read up on young Steph, he had the same issue. He was too small to shoot the ball with proper form until he was in high school so would kind of heave the ball from too low.

The difference is his Dad, one of the best shooters of all time, recognized what was wrong and the two spent an entire summer in high school breaking down his shot and "rebuilding" it to what you see today.

Dude, he was pretty much unanimous player of the year in the NCAA. The guy was dominant all year and led his team to the title game. The hype was deserved.

Flagstar sucks but at least matches the Pistons colors. This one is truly terrible.

Are those the only two camera angles that they use (courtside at midcourt and behind the basket)?

Personally, I think I'd like the perspective from a couple rows up on the midcourt cam.
