I personally think that the NBA jerseys should be left alone. Why add sleeves?! I’m not mad at the new sleeved jerseys, but I’d prefer to keep things the way they are. Apparently Roy Hibbert feels the same way. Check out his reaction when he saw the Pacers sleeved jerseys for Summer League.

Via Dan Devine at YahooSports:
We already knew that as many as five NBA teams would be joining the Golden State Warriors in wearing Adidas-provided jerseys with sleeves next season, and that the Phoenix Suns will be one of them, despite the Twitter protest of Suns guard Kendall Marshall. We don’t yet know the identities of the other sleeve squads, but on Tuesday, we learned that the Indiana Pacers are going to at least “experiment” with the arm-covering ensemble this summer.
As you might expect, news of the onward march of the not-so-popular sleeved jerseys was met with dismay and, in the case of one particularly prominent Pacer, disgust.
Worry not, Roy Hibbert — Agness reports that the Pacers are not expected to be one of the new sleeved teams come the regular season.
