I wasn't sure what the limit was for "right" unis in this thread. I guess the "wrong" ones for Shaq would be maybe Cleveland and Boston?

Bobster Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I would say the question for this thread is "What team/uniform immediately comes to mind for most people when you mention this player" For someone like Shaq it's largely going to be the Lakers with a bit of Orlando thrown in. I don't picture him in my mind with Boston, Cleveland, Phoenix, or even Miami. Wilt Chamberlain? Lakers, Warriors or 76ers are all reasonable answers. He was with all three for an extended period of time and had success at all three stops. Same with Kareem with the Bucks or Lakers. Randy Johnson? Mariners and Diamondbacks, yes. Astros, Giants and Yankees, no. No one pictures him with those teams first unless they're a fan of those teams (and that's a maybe). And who here honestly thinks of #45 or #12 right away when they think of Michael Jordan? Right. Nobody. Same with Drew Brees in San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Yeah Drew Brees in San Diego is the epitome of players in the wrong uniform. It’s a fun fact, not a this is what they’re remembered for. It’s the same as Gretzky in a Blues sweater. That’s weird. Gretzky in an Oilers or Kings sweater?

I was under the impression that thread was for players who at least have one “right” uniform. In the case of Harden, I don’t think he has any “right” uniform. Furthermore, I don’t think a player of any sport, more so in today’s NBA, who bounces around from team to team, will ever have a “right” uniform.

Like I said in the other thread: On 2/14/2022 at 4:28 PM, LA Fakers+ LA Snippers said: Harden’s right team will always be the Rockets (unless he wins a ring and plays 5-6 years at an MVP level in Philly). And your second point is complete garbage. Joel Embiid’s right team is the 76ers; seeing him in any other jersey would be off-putting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I barely follow the NBA and associate Harden with the Rockets. That said, in the "super team" era, there will be more and more players without "right" uniforms - Durant is a perfect example. I guess I associate him with GSW, but maybe OKC? If you have to debate it, then he doesn't have a "right" uniform. I'm even torn on Lebron. More years in Cleveland, but different uniforms, but arguably his move to Miami and formation of the super team there was when he was most iconic (obviously the title in Cleveland is probably tops, but that was a singular moment vs 4 years). Then with the Lakers, just being "the guy" for the team with the iconic yellow uniforms is significant enough to add them to the argument, though obviously saying Lakers are his "right" jersey is wrong.
