3 NBA Facts You May Not Know (#3)

 

The NBA is 75 years old (2021), and as an NBA fan I know its important to know about our history. The NBA is filled with weird occurrences, players, awards, and facts you may not know. So, this blog I am going to be writing about facts that most NBA fans are unaware of.

 

 

3. Air Jordan’s were banned from the NBA during 1985

 

 





Jordan is a basketball company founded by Michael Jordan that first came out in 1985. Today, it is one of the most successful clothing and shoe company, and is loved by many Athletes, and citizens. Back then, there was a strict rule that NBA players were only allowed to wear shoes that matched their uniform and jerseys on court.

Early Air Jordan’s used to only come in red and white combinations, and NBA commissioner David Stern did not allow it because it matched the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors colors of their team.

If a player was seen wearing Air Jordan’s on the basketball court, the NBA would give that player an immense fine for doing so.


I hoped you  enjoyed the start of this new series! Next fact about the NBA will come to you on Saturday.

Did you realize this? Players like Jaylen Brown, Kyrie Irving, De Aaron Fox, Nikola Jokic, and Donovan Mitchell are averaging higher numbers than expected this season. We also did not really expect NBA stars like Anthony Davis or James Harden to settle down this season, and focus on other aspects of their game. But there is one player than has been mostly unheard of until the 2020/21 season, and his name is Bradley Beal.
