It was Dirk Nowitzki for me Dallas #41!! My dad came home from the city and he knew I like him because he was a shooter. It was a bootleg uniform.. Probably one of the best memories I had with my dad. RIP in heaven..I love you always..

[@mrbest4584]

damn emotional

[@jamesange3124]

Really sad. Mine was Dirk too but my friend gave it to me

[@2quann]

Allen Iverson was the hottest jersey out growing up in my neighborhood.

[@OutsideDuhBox]

That blue sixers jersey was SO shiny! I do remember that.

[@youngbae5187]

Fits AI real well too. Dude shining bright like a star on the court.

[@eliprimetime5677]

My first nba jersey is the derrick rose chicago bulls jersey man my dad got it for me on my birthday when i was 10 in 2013 i will forever cherish it for the rest of my life🔥🔥🔥🙏❤

[@johncarrasco2]

First of many NBA jersey's of mine was a Luka Doncic Icon jersey. It's the one they wear mainly for away games. I never owned a jersey before so when I was able to buy myself one, it had to be my favorite player Luka Doncic.

[@poorsonwelles]

As a Raptors fan, knowing KD was idolizing Vince when we were kids is such a cool thing to realize

[@herizorakotomavo]

My first jersey was the green Sonics #40 of Shawn Kemp 🔥🔥🔥. Then I had the white Spurs #21 of Tim Duncan. And after that the white Raptors #15 of Vince Carter. These were the time of amazing jerseys (Hardaway, Grant Hill, Shaq, Iverson, Marbury, Reggie Miller, Olajuwon, Mutombo, Pippen, Jordan, Ewing, David Robinson, ...)

[@imaaduddin7715]

[@j.d.wilkes7189]

My first jersey was the Kobe Bryant Black Mamba jersey. I was wanting a Kobe jersey so bad. I saw a Kobe jersey that was $300 (way more than I could afford). On Christmas of 2020, that’s when I got the Black Mamba Kobe jersey.

[@ProvenHueMan]

Allen Iverson is the most INFLUENTIAL NBA PLAYER ever. Lemme repeat Most INFLUENTIAL. If u been following the NBA you should know most current NBA Stars list The Answer as their favorite player LeBron James Giannis Dame Dolla (said he was star struck as a rookie when he seen AI) Steph Curry (Said “I always wanted to be like Iverson”) in a post game interview You can find a video on all these guys saying how influential #3 was to them. He's my 🐐, real onww know he was blackballed out the league too An honorable mention D Wade said AI was the reason he wore #3

How come no red jersey with 23 on it?

[@makinen06]

they r all too young. 2 iverson 2 carter = less than 30 years old all of them. more like less than 25. for us it was 23, for like half of us.

[@theinktician]

@@makinen06 not too young for Lebron's and they didn't get that 1st either. Also, about half of these were older so it was just up to chance that they didn't get a MJ over the other older players. It was like that for me too. I had a Penny jersey first. And im the middle of the age group, 27

[@TheSilvina45]

Wearing NBA jerseys back then is an embarrassment (except for jerseys from white players such as Nash and Nowitzki). But now with all endorsements attached to the jersey uniforms, it looks dirty, amateurish, and a total embarrassment to wear.
