Ah, good on you then! I gotta admit, one of the things that to my mind "crosses the line" is the wearing of a complete kit. Y'know, a crap-ton of 12-year-old kids shooting hoops in an urban court might wear a red Bulls #23 basketball jersey, and maybe a tiny subset of those kids might also wear the Air Jordan sneakers...but you'll almost never see a kid wearing the complete Chicago Bulls team kit. And yet on nearly every bike ride I go on I see at least one ass-clown dressed head-to-toe in someone's complete team kit as if he's a member of that professional cycling team. Da fuQ? Have some self respect, dude!
Those type of hoops players get laughed off the court unless they have game. They'll still get laughed at anyway. Better to dress like Woody Harrelson or Jack Harlow in the versions of White Men Can't jump than an NBA wannabe. Something in the kit must not match. Speaking of WMCJ as it relates to cycling, check out Wesley Snipes cycling caps in the original version.

On the other hand, this is just as stupid.(and staged) Those guys he's playing against probably played for the Washington Generals at some point.
