Boston Celtics players have generally removed their team logos and pictures showcasing their uniforms, in the social network locker room, in light of the lockout. Photos of players in their respective team jerseys are now rarer than hen's teeth.
Before your palpitating hearts go on a tear, please bear in mind that the modest players of the NBA may have discarded their uniforms, but they still wear fashionable clothing suitable to a runway double dribble.
This may be in retaliation for the owners stripping their team websites of any and all mentions of their former players like Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.
Since there are only a few current Celtics likely to be on the team whenever it plays, we believe the Celtics now have a delete advantage over other teams.
Stripped out of their uniforms and logos, Celtics players are not quite naked yet. Yet, they may not want to spend their suspended salaries on peacock finery for a while.
Dwight Howard is planking in bland and unbranded shorts, and Kevin Durant tweets pictures wherein he wears silk pajamas.
Most players are wearing the usual uniform of young athletic men at rest: shorts, t-shirts with oddball slogans unrelated to teams and their comfy sneakers.
The hue and cry over the missing uniforms is about as absent as the Celtic logo on Rondo’s website. He is still No. 9, wrapped in his initials, but forget that green that goes so well with his eyes.
Perhaps fans enjoy seeing their team out of uniform.
Bleacher Report has an archive of Celtics players in various poses, but enterprising writers who want a good neutral photo of the players are out of luck.
Pictures of Celtic players in civilian clothing are about as rare as a nude photo of the Big Three.
Neutered of their uniforms by the league, the players have turned the tables and spayed their social network websites of team regalia.
We’d like to regale you all with a smattering of jersey-less players, but modesty prevents us.
We recall the day when Andrew Bynum was fined $25,000 for removing his jersey. Now the NBA takes all jerseys away from players, leaving them disadvantaged.
Dancing with the NBA stars is no longer possible until contractual matters are settled. Until then, the league has done a strip tease with the stars of the NBA.
Hit the spotlight, and hand Rondo the feather boa.
By denying players their baggy shorts and leaving them only with protective gear that would make Michelangelo blush is perhaps only one example of the heartbreak of this lockout.
