For all the attention Amir Johnson gets on this site, he’s long overdue for his own t-shirt. Just like the rest of the DBB shirts, when you wear this in public you’ll get a knowing nod of approval from Pistons fans and a confused stare from everybody else.
Fortunately, DBB reader Sauce1977 put the wheels in motion earlier this week by creating a rockin’ animated .gif, which was then adapted (with his blessing) into the final design for the shirt (which, as usual, comes in an assortment of styles and sizes). This one is a little more expensive than the rest of the shirts in the DBB store, but that’s because I opted for a different printing method that should produce a graphic that won’t ever fade.
Also, I liked the clean look of the logo so much that I opted not to brand it with this site’s URL, so that means when you see another fan lusting after it, it’s up to you to tell them where you got it. Chances are he’ll be so grateful that he’ll buy you a beer, so it’s really win-win. So go buy one.
We’ve added two new designs (plus youth sizes and classic ringer t’s) to our T-shirt shop: “89 & 90 Champs” and “W.W.B.D.?” Click on the image below to order some of these hawt threads!

It has been a banner week for Manu Ginobili.
First, he “accidentally” gets smacked in the mouth by Kobe Bryant in the waning moments of Sunday’s Spurs win over the Lakers. Then, after Bryant is suspended for a game as a result, the replay of the blow — and of Ginobili collapsing like he just saw Eva Longoria without makeup — is looped on ESPNews every 30 seconds for 48 straight hours. That couldn’t have been good for the ol’ ego.
An ironic twist to all this: the shot that felled Ginobili actually looks like it may have hurt, as opposed to the phantom-induced flops which Manu is known for. And that rather coursely orchestrated segue leads us right into the introduction of the second Detroit Bad Boys t-shirt design, “No Ginobili.”
As you can see, this dapper number is a tribute to Manu being Manu. Because, aside from wooing the ladies, what does BalkiManu do better than hit the hardwood? The man is Laimbeer-esque! And in light of the fact that the NBA could soon be cracking down on these pranksters, we thought there no better time than the present to celebrate Manu’s diving prowess.
So here’s to you, Manu. And let’s hope that at least one of these babies greets the Spurs when they make their Valentine’s Day visit to the Palace in a couple weeks.
