Those nickname jerseys we heard about before the season appear to be a reality. Director Spike Lee posted this picture to his Instagram account recently. The Associated Press reported back in October that the NBA was considering alternate jerseys with players nicknames on the back.
Ray Allen played Jesus Shuttlesworth in Spike Lee's 1988 movie He Got Game. Fred Shuttlesworth was a prominent civil rights leader in Birmingham, Ala., in the 1960s.
Before the season, the NBA reportedly was considering the jerseys for one of the four match ups between the Heat and Nets. The Heat's next game against the Nets is Jan.10 in Brooklyn.
