Ranking all the 2024-2025 NBA City Uniforms

  Spurs - San Antonio’s jersey is perfect. Not too complicated, but at the same time, there is not too much going on. The colors embrace the Mexican culture of southern Texas. The rounded fonts are nice and soft to the eye. Mavericks - Dallas has beautiful jerseys that show the spirit of the city. Their jerseys show the history of the Cowboys in Dallas. The font and colors are subtle, but they also pop out at you. Hawks - Atlanta’s tops are nicely designed. The blue sections are great and the name and  number is placed well. Grizzlies - Memphis found a way to put music into a jersey. The silhouette font with the light on light on dark makes the writing pop out at you just as music does.

Celtics VS. Cavs 11/31

One of the biggest and anticipated matchups right now for the NBA is certainly the Celtics vs. Cavs. To start off, both teams have a very equal roster. Both starting 5 lineups are immaculate. The Celtics have a bit of a momentum advantage only because they are coming off an NBA championship. Other than that, it will be a close game. My prediction will be the Celtics winning 124-116. The top scorers will be Jayson Tatum with 32 points and Donovan Mitchell with 34. Jrue Holiday will be a top defender with many blocks and steals. We will see a hard fought match and an exciting game tomorrow.
