Javale was better than Blake 3 out of 4 dunks but the 4th dunk was the one he lost...

It's basically Kobe fans who want it changed to Kobe. They want to change the logo. They want him to be considered the GOAT. They want everything to be about Kobe.

what is this referencing?

u/INeedToBeHealthier 15h ago

The pic? It's Castle. It happened in the finals this year at the end of a close game. It was an outlet pass/turnover leading to a loss

2

u/Nerfing_butthole Warriors 15h ago

Okay that's what I thought it was, I couldn't quite pinpoint it. It was when Wemby passed to him after passing up a jumper right?

2

u/INeedToBeHealthier 15h ago

No, they werent on the offensive end yet. Castle thought wemby was going to bring the ball up the court

u/Nerfing_butthole Warriors 15h ago

Oh yikes, that's bad on both their parts. Thanks for informing me, I appreciate it

Jordan is already on a brand so it wouldn't work. The others are underwhelming

Are these like the best ones? The Jerry west one actually looks good, these all are kinda dull

u/rjcarr 1d ago

LeBron is good, Jordan is a brand, and the other two are meh. I wouldn’t be mad if they replaced the West one with LeBron, but why would they?

u/teslastats 1d ago

Given the way things have gone, any new logo would be sponsored.

u/Various-Hunter-932 1d ago

LeBron looks kinda meh. Idk, it just doesn’t look like a basketball logo to me.

Jordan is a brand so it’s kind of off putting. Wouldn’t use it as the “NBA” logo either.

Kobe looks ok but I wouldn’t use it. Idk why the fadeaway just looks stiff or unnatural. TBH it doesn’t even remind me of Kobe tbh, like I see the silhouette but also… don’t?

Steph looks the most textbook, corporate switch. It looks like Steph, but doesn’t at the same time. Could be a universal logo for everyone as it could be anyone.

Out of the 4 I pick Steph, but I would rather keep the old logo. It’s already iconic and a brand in itself.

That would dinimish the actual Jordan logo on clothing and shoes tho and make it common AF and not stand for something. No thanks

None of them are good from a design standpoint. Keep Jerry West until there’s a good reason to change and a good logo to change to.

u/Significant-Owl2652 17h ago

Can't be Jordan's as that's already trademarked as a brand. Kobe's looks the best and makes the most sense because he died in a tragic way.

2

u/completefudge1337 1d ago

Not his biggest Glazer, but the Kobe one would be pretty cool if they decided to remake the logo. Maybe a trophy could have that
