I thought that as well when I read the basketball-jersey comment.

Is he somehow implying that Phil Ivey started the trend of wearing basketball jerseys and that anyone else who wears a jersey is somehow copying him??


Seems to me that Ivey isn't the only one in the country wearing basketball jerseys....or in the world for that matter...my GF from Peru says the NBA is HUGE down there...she and her brother just bought Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant jerseys for their 8 year-old cousin back home.

I just thought that their 8-year-old cousin was a fan of the NBA. little did I know that his REAL intention is to be like Phil Ivey.



This obviously isn't a new trend either.

When I was a kid I had cheapo fake jerseys of my favorite football and baseball players (Ken Anderson, Terry Bradshaw, Fran Tarkenton, Steve Bartkowski, Jim Plunkett, etc etc...Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan).


I was 8 or 9....so Phil Ivey was probably about 2 years old. But I was probably just trying to impersonate him even then.
