Check Out the Newest 'Classic' Gear

Hardwood Classics - just the name alone brings awesome vibes with it. They're not called "Basketball Retros" or "Court Oldies". They're Hardwood Classics, bringing the essence of hoops with'em; the soul of what it means to play the game (maybe a reason why the jerseys are called "Soul Swingman" jerseys?).

Anyway, besides the name being as awesome as it is, the jerseys, hats and apparel that make up this collection are just as great. Whether its to remember players like Stockton, Malone, Pippen, Bird, Magic or Olajuwon - the gear and the logos they have on them are form an era of basketball you can't help but admire (and look good doing it).

Over at NBAStore.com, the Hardwood Classics collection is constantly growing, with a whole new selection of jerseys to choose from and the latest Mitchell & Ness headwear just having come in. Don't forget t-shirts, track jackets and the like to round out the group. Wearing any of these is a way to let people know about your passion for hoops and that you take your love of the game seriously.

At the same time, make sure to check out our Big & Tall collection - while only available for a select handful of teams at the moment, we'll be looking to build this one out so every fan can show their pride for their favorite team, so check back for updates in the future.

Finally, don't forget to answer our poll below - we're looking to you, the customer, to find out how to offer the best service and we'll be using these polls to do it.

New Zip Codes for Shaq, 'Sheed, Gordon, Artest and More...

Free agency opened up not that long ago and already there's been plenty of action between front offices across the league. Even before free agents were open to negotiate, there was movement as Shaquille O'Neal got a change in uniform after being moved from Phoenix to Cleveland to team up with LeBron in the hopes of title number five.

Elsewhere, Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva look to be on the move to Detroit while Rasheed Wallace appears to be headed to Boston in the hopes of a title. And we're not even close to being done - the Rockets and Lakers essentially swapped players via free agency as Trevor Ariza agreed to terms with Houston after the Lakers signed Ron Artest - which player ultimately regrets that swap?

Sure, some players such as Mike Bibby and Jason Kidd decided the grass isn't always greener and stayed home, but that didn't stop guys like Hedo Turkoglu from entertaining various offers before deciding on heading to Portland... and ultimately, Toronto.

You can track all of the movement over at NBA.com with their free agent tracker, but more importantly, you can be the first to own the jersey of your favorite player if he finds himself relocating or to get the jersey of the newest addition to your favorite team. How? It's simple.

Did you know that once a trade is official and a player's number is finalized, even if you don't see their jersey live on the site, all you have to do is head over to the custom jerseys? From there you can get any player you want custom made and shipped out within 5-7 business days. It's that easy.

And if your team has been quiet so far, that's no reason to forget about hoops - there are plenty of new items around, including the new summer collection, and there is our Fourth of July clearance event where you can save up to 60% off on select merchandise. So while some may say that not every free agent signing is a smart decision, don't worry, you won't find any thing that doesn't live up to it's billing at NBAStore.com!

The Sixers Get a "New" Look While the Draft Approaches

While most teams get ready to add a new face or two to their roster, the Sixers went ahead and gave the franchise a new face, going back to the old "76ers" ball logo from years past and ditching the black, gold and red uniforms of recent years.

The change is one that most Philly fans will welcome with open arms as the days of Dr. J, Charles Barkley and Moses Malone are recalled while a new team tries to live up to the logo that was worn by the 1983 champs. NBAStore.com has all of the newest Sixers gear with the new logo that you can find here in the Sixers team shop. Check it out now!

While the Sixers revamp their look, you can do the same no matter what team you cheer for as the new 2009 draft caps are now available. Wear the hat your newest player(s) will be rockin tonight at Madison Square Garden.

And while this week offers all the excitement of the draft (and the trades surrounding it), we still haven't forgotten about this year's NBA Champions, the Los Angeles Lakers. There are still plenty of items at NBAStore.com to remember the Lakers' 15th NBA title.

Enjoy the draft!
