When Orlando Magic and eventual Brooklyn Nets center Dwight Howard agreed to sign his one-year extension to "let the Magic try to keep him", a lot of people were pissed off at Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade when he made fun of Howard on Twitter for his overzealous use of the word "loyalty". But bless their silly hearts, Magic fans - *points to self, frowns* - believed that Howard really was giving his team a shot until they eventually learned that he only signed the deal to avoid a deadline trade to the Los Angeles Lakers. Loyalty indeed.
So imagine the response of the Internets yesterday when people revealed that Adidas and the NBA have been selling a Dwight Howard "Loyalty" t-shirt all along. Yikes, talk about ironic. Even hipsters have a hard time purchasing that t-shirt online, donating it to the Goodwill and then begrudgingly buying it after they "find it" a few days later. But this shirt got me thinking: "What other absurd shirts could the NBA be pumping out to bilk devoted fans out of their hard-earned cash?"
*scratches spot on chin where hair would grow if he could grow facial hair, fires up Photoshop*
I had to throw this photoshop in first, because I'll always acknowledge someone's effort when it blows mine away. I just hope Cole Hamels doesn't see this.

tactful? really?
hahahha ahhh shit hating on my kings!!
Nobody told me we increased our photoshop budget
I finally have a great way to describe myself…not derpy.
The Tim Duncan one is perfect.
I’d buy a Clay Bennett t-shirt that said “Honest” on it.
I was expecting the Spurs big three with “Youthful” underneath. The Duncan one works too.
Psyco T’s momma disagrees with your sarcasm.
Not to get all KSK gay mafia on you but you should have used the noun form of the descriptors when possible, as in the original example “Loyalty,” e.g. “Humble” = “Humility,” “Exciting” = “Excitement,” etc.
Also, if you’re gonna bag on my Kings (low-hanging fruit IS the easiest to pick), I think I’d go with a picture of Jimmer that says “Tebow.”
Jus’ sayin.
LOL, “Not Derpy”!
