The NBA Gets Sleeves for Christmas



We're still a couple weeks away from Thanksgiving, but people are already getting ready for Christmas — even in the NBA! Today, the league unveiled the special jerseys that the 10 teams playing on Christmas Day will wear for in those games.

A few teams have already incorporated sleeves into third jerseys, but this is the widest use of the sleeved basketball jersey in the NBA to date. When it comes to basketball sleeves, it seems most people love them or hate them.

Take a look at the other Christmas Day jerseys and let us know what you think of them:
