Guess I won't be rockin the Cavs' navy blue alts this year... :(

[RayAP19]

Non-Cavs may or may not know this, but almost ever since LeBron was drafted to Cleveland, their players have made it a point to match almost all accessories with the base color (i.e., white at home, wine/navy on the road) of their jersey, including headbands, armbands and elbow pads and whatnot.

This year, if you pick the Cavs navy blue alts, they sport white headbands. I don't know if this is a glitch or what, but it sucks, and on top of that, you can't give anyone any navy blue accessories. The two options are primary team color (wine) and secondary team color (darker wine).

...

This isn't really a big deal, and I'll survive rockin the wine jerseys all year (I always saved the navy blues for the Playoffs), but it still kinda messes you up as a Cavs fan.

Before I go on a tangent, I'd also like to say that Cavs fans got gypped on the following things as well:

-PA announcer when LeBron makes a shot-- completely off in 2K9
-LeBron's FT form-- he doesn't set his feet one behind the other, they're always squared
-PA sound when a Cavalier makes a FT at home-- their signature sound used to be in, and then they took it out and replaced it with a generic "made FT at home" sound

Cavs fans are people too, 2K :-(

In the recent Cavs/Wizards game, Lebron was wearing some new Nike. So rather than go with the home uniform, they sent somone to fly Washington's home jerseys to Cleveland so King James could have his jerseys match his new shoes at home.

MAN I hope that dude doesn't come to NY in 2011. I hope the Cavs go to the Finals and lose in a seven game nailbiter so he feels that there is unfinished business in Cleveland and resigns forever.

yeah ray i feel your pain. i'm a stickler for matching unis and accessories myself so i've stayed away from the blues. besides i've found the red jerseys to be a better option anyway, they look cool.


i also don't like how slow they made lebron's release on his freethrow either..but to VC's credit at least they addressed his terrible sig shot of '08. it was way too slow, now the release is way quicker and much more realistic.

ROFL! i do declare fans like this always amuse me. and i'm not just talking lebron either, any nba superstar for that matter.


they hear a story and all of a sudden decide that he would be "the wrong guy" for their franchise based of course on the perception that the player is big headed or thinks they are larger than the game.



look man, your franchise is mired in mediocrity and has been lacking a true superstar player in the garden since ewing left to seattle. not only should you want lebron james; you should also wear a witness shirt to every home game along with palms full of chalk to do your own pre game routine. lol @ being a picky knick fan.

ROFL! I do declare I love rookies who read one post and assume they know something about someone.

I've been watching Lebron play since people were uploading his high school vids, and he had a diary in slam magazine. Anything I hear about him at this point is a confirmation of his character, not a revelation.

Off the court I think Lebron is a charismatic and funny guy. Love those commercials and SNL skits. My issues with Lebron all have to do with him on the court. Bottom line: I don't like his game or his approach to it, and I don't want to watch it every other day.

He's a great player, but not my cup of tea. I hope that doesn't offend people who cherish him so.

I do hate how year after year 2K still won't allow us to choose the headband color

Do they have those yellow throwbacks that the Cavs are wearing this year? I don't have the game yet, I usually wait till the NFL season is over to pick it up.

Wow, wear a T-Shirt to "Witness" one of the most over-rated players in the NBA. Yeah, he got hops, he can glide across the court, but to me he's still... OVER-RATED!..... OVER-RATED!..... OVER-RATED!


Ahaha
Lets see how Cavs fan react to my post...
