The NBA All-Star Game is a great event every year, and there are many things that go into making it great. An underrated factor in the All-Star Game being great are the jerseys that the players wear: after all, nice-looking jerseys help the presentation of the game itself.
Recently, it appears as though there were some potential jerseys spoiled for this year’s All-Star Game. Hoop Central reported on the situation, and the fan reactions were priceless.

I suppose that the LEBRON team will use yellow, will it be by chance or because it is the Lakers color, practically?

Needless to say, these jerseys caused a lot of controversy among fans. A lot of people disliked it, and some even called to cancel the All-Star weekend. Others pointed out the similarity to the Indiana Pacers’ jerseys due to the coloring. While these jerseys may not appeal to everyone, they don’t take much away from the point of the All-Star Game, which is to watch your favorite stars play. The visuals are important, but what’s more important is NBA stars putting on a show.
