Five Iconic NBA Jerseys You Can Wear To Any Funeral

Sporting a sick NBA jersey to a funeral? Talk about a great way to turn some tears into high-fives. 

Here are the five most iconic threads you can style while chopping it up with friends and loved ones about the life and times of the dearly departed:

5) Shareef Abdur-Rahim – 1997 Vancouver Grizzlies Road Uniform: Talk about a great way to brighten up a dark day with the torquiest tank and the revolutionary patterned trimming around  the collar and edges. When your newly deceased comrade arrives at the pearly gates the first thing Saint Peter will say is, “You got some friends with style, homeboy. You’re in.”

4) Stephen Jackson – 2004 Indiana Pacers Road Uniform: What a great way to say you always got a person’s back than to wear the jersey of the guy who stormed the stands and helped defend Ron Artest against the whole city of Detroit?

3) David Robinson – 1999 San Antonio Spurs Road Uniform: Not only does this allow you to wear formal black attire, it also in a way helps provide a military presence at the funeral. For all you youngsters out there, they didn’t call Robinson “The Admiral” because he was tall and everyone looked up to him. 

2) Wes Unseld – 1978 Washington Bullets Throwback Uniform: This makes total sense if the person died from a gunshot wound. Come to think about it… what if they died from a wizard? Then you could wear a Gilbert Arenas jersey! Or what about from heat exhaustion? Then you could wear an Alonzo Mourning Heat jersey! Or do you wear the Charles Barkley Suns jersey? We don’t know… but the possibilities are endless.

1) Michael Jordan – 1992 USA Olympic White Uniform: “USA! USA! USA!” That’s what you’ll be chanting for your great American friend or relative while dawning the Jordan Olympic-number-9. Let this person be The GOAT on your Dream Team of guardian angels from here on out.
