The “City Edition” jerseys for NBA teams are some of the most sought-after items sold in the league.

Every year, fans flock to buy these special annual pieces of team history.

And it seems that every year, the jerseys are leaked before their official reveal.

It looks like that has happened again because pictures shared by NBA UK Fans, via NBA Retweet, seem to show City Edition jerseys for both the Dallas Mavericks and Chicago Bulls.

Fans are already debating if these jerseys are good or not.

Possibly the Bulls and Mavericks city edition jerseys.

A yearly tradition, the jerseys are created to show off the “inherent bond between, court, community and culture,” according to a press release from the NBA.

While they definitely do that, they also become incredibly popular merchandise the moment that they go on sale.

Year after year, the city jerseys are some of the most popular items sold at arenas and in fan shops.

If these two jerseys are legitimate, they reveal that both the Mavericks and Bulls are going for understated and clean looks in 2023-24.

They are both relying on a darker scheme with clean fonts and minimal other colors.

There is no doubt that both of these jerseys will fly off the shelves.

As for the rest of the league, we should expect to see their special jerseys in the weeks ahead as the new season unfolds.

Players across the league will be brandishing these jerseys during select games and fans will be wearing them year-round.

These two will certainly impress many but there are 28 more on the way.

After another disheartening loss deep in the playoffs last season, the Boston Celtics are hoping to make another run at their 18th NBA championship.

They made big changes during the offseason, jettisoning former Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart and sharpshooter Danilo Gallinari to obtain star center Kristaps Porzingis, and although they also lost 3-and-D forward Grant Williams, some insist trading for Porzingis was a genius move.

Yet Boston’s championship hopes will ultimately fall on star forward Jayson Tatum more than anyone.

Via ClutchPoints, Ramona Shelburne said Tatum thought he may need surgery on his non-shooting wrist, but he ended up deciding against it.

"[Jayson Tatum] went into the offseason thinking he might need surgery on his non-shooting wrist. [He] went to a bunch of specialists and essentially decided [not to get the surgery]."

Tatum had a career-best effort last season by averaging 30.1 points. 8.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists a game as the Celtics finished with a 57-25 record, which put them in second place in the Eastern Conference.

In the Eastern Conference Finals they fell behind, 3-0, to the Miami Heat, a team that looked inferior to them on paper, only to charge back and win the next three games.

Everything seemed set up for Boston to achieve a historic Game 7 win at home, but they scored only 84 points and lost by 19.

Tatum was a major reason for the loss, as he scored just 14 points on 5-of-13 shooting.

By trading Smart and receiving Porzingis, the Celtics may be much improved offensively, but the question is how they will continue to be one of the NBA’s top defensive squads.

In addition, their bench has been greatly weakened, as Malcolm Brogdon, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year, is their only reserve who is any kind of offensive threat.

Friday came with big news for Detroit Tigers fans.

Not only they are enjoying Miguel Cabrera’s last series as an active major leaguer, but they also found out that the talented slugger already has a job lined up in the organization once this weekend’s series is over.

“Following Sunday’s game, Miguel Cabrera’s next chapter will be in Detroit as a Special Assistant to the President of Baseball Operations,” the team announced.

Fans weren’t afraid to voice their opinion on this move.

Most of them were happy to learn that the franchise legend, who won just about every individual accolade there is to win with the Tigers, will at least have an influence on baseball decisions in the future.

Happy to see this

It could be a positive influence for the Tigers’ current players to see Cabrera around Comerica Park often, although his exact role is still undetermined (or least hasn’t been revealed).

So happy he's staying with the team. I knew he said he wanted to stay in the game, but to have it be official and with the Tigers is great news!

There is an important aspect of retaining Cabrera in an advisor/assistant role: he could stay around the organization, helping Latin players in anything they may need from adapting to the culture, to the language.

The impact this may have on potential latin players could be huge

Perhaps it will be Cabrera’s first experience in what could be a career making baseball decisions in Detroit at some point, although it’s unclear if it will be a role that interests him.

In any case, he is one of the biggest, most prominent Tigers in history, and having him around so quickly after retiring is huge news for the organization as it tries to return to contention eventually.
