Dellavedova jersey
So I'm back in Australia (Adelaide) for my annual holiday and looking for somewhere that may stock a Delly jersey. Any ideas?

Speaking of Delly jerseys, what happened to that Aussie Hoops store that was run by basketball australia?
I'm down for a Delly Jersey too. I heard that they are on back order.
There's a Facebook page called Cheap NBA jerseys who sells pretty good quality, stitched fakes. Has Finals versions. They come from China and if you googled aliexpress you'd probably find them cheaper but he's pretty good and I've been happy with most of the ones of got from him. $50.
Ps this is the ultimate in bandwagonning. Where was this thread when he was averaging 7 and 2?

I fine with this thread I just think a holiday to Adelaide is humorous
Where was this thread when Delly was 16 years old? Why do people want his jersey now that he is in the NBA and successful? How come no one buys Longley jerseys anymore? Fkn bandwagoners the lot of you. You follow players who make it, and you just stop following them after they retire. It's total weaksauce.
Dellys been in the league two years. Plenty of time to buy his jersey. Not now he's doing well. That's the exact definition of bandwagon. Supporting someone just because they're doing well
Actually I take that back. The exact definition is "wanting someone's jersey now they are successful". I know you were being sarcastic but you really didn't help your cause there with that sentence

The OP (Libertine) is from Adelaide but lives overseas, hence the holiday in Adelaide part.
No hope finding a Delly jersey here, probably cheaper for you to book a ticket to Shenzhen in the next AirAsia sale and pick a fake up from a factory there.

NBA Aust has online jersey and you can request the number and name on them just costs more
Heard on American radio yesterday that Delly singlet is number one in the USA right now. Don`t know if that is right but they said it was out selling Kobe, Lebron etc.
Obviously doesn`t say that he is as good a player as them, but it is great to see that people have noticed him and are getting behind him.
Even if it doesn`t come directly from the Cavs he is certainly going to be able to make a finacial gain from his play of late endorsement wise.
Of course it is selling better than well known players. Because everyone already has their jerseys.

On Mike & Mike last night they quoted that the "Fanatics" website said that Delly's jersey is the top seller atm. Delly has sold more in the finals than for the whole year.
They also did a great segment on Delly and every other Australian that has ever done anything on American soil, even included a live Skype call to Triple M radio host Ed Caverlee.
Great to see the American sports media and public embracing Delly and anything Australian.

Not sure why people are complaining about jumping on the bandwagon because he's playing well. That just what happens.. is anyones favorite player ever a guy that sits on the bench and hardly plays? Anyone a true Brendan Hayward fan around here? That's just how it goes so stfu
You're jumping on an Aussie because he's doing well but couldn't care less when he's stuck to the bench. Be a true fan and support him at his worst don't jump on his back when he's doing well.
How many of you have Bairstow jerseys?
^^^ Stupid comment, so people are to jump on here and write a post about how well Bairstow is playing??????????
Little bit hard to do that.
Based on your comment you want people to come on here and post....
Watching the game today Delly and Bairstow look great on the bench, I love what they are doing on the bench.
Tools.
I haven't bought a Bairstow jersey yet so I guess I'm not allowed to get one now or else I'm a bad fan
The Kickz101 guys in Perth have been selling Delly Boomers jerseys for a while now.

The best part of this thread is that both Libertine and Double Clutch have made appearances. Just like old times.
Ahhh, the memories.

SOOOO, Are Maryborough "jumping on the Bandwagon" by renaming their stadium after Dellavedova?
It's only natural that people want to be associated with success.Chill out and dine on the glory that you knew of him before his recent fantastic success
Well, yes. They didn't do it when he was drafted or at any point during his two NBA seasons. Only when he had a couple of decent playoff games.

Was pretty happy to find out that pictures going around of people burning Delly jerseys were apparently Warriors fans mocking Lebron fans, rather than actual Cavs fans jumping off the bandwagon after one game.

Ok so all you gardeners out there who seem to like cutting tall Poppy's, ......put it in another light, not one single "famous singer" was actually famous and had a fan base Until they sold their first record......those asking why no one followed Delly before now, did any one follow Lebron Coby, Shaque when they were in high school, or before they hit the big time? seriously get a grip, the guy IS doing well, he's been given the opportunity to do so and is running with it, give him some credit
And while I'm on the subject of those knocking him, this Olgun Uluc idiot, his tweet about Delly, "I'm glad this Delly phase has settled down, there is a difference between a talented player, and one who tries very hard. Dellys the later
What a disgraceful thing to say
The old saying hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard springs to mind, but Delly did not get to were he is without talent AND hard work.
this idiot, hes not a reporter he's just a kid who thinks he is, he needs to go go get a real job.
No one is saying he is untalented in general, just that he's untalented compared to 99% of the NBA. Hence why he went undrafted, will always be a bench player etc. Hustle players to me are those that have to rely on their effort levels rather than natural talent to keep them in the league. Usually they also are very good defenders. Tony Allen is a hustle player. Pat Beverley. Joakim Noah even. Not stars but they never leave anything on the court.
"Coby, Shaque"
No I didn't follow either of those players. I don't even know who they are.
Looks like he is back to being Dirty Delly today.

He is totally innocent.
*sticks fingers in ears*
Lalalalalalala! I can't hear you.
Delly is a saint.
*covers eyes with hands during replay*
I don't see anything wrong here.
A saint I tell you!
*blocks another 20 people on twitter*
See, no one is even complaining about him. What's the problem?
What has he done that's dirty so far? I'm the first bloke to call him dirty but I haven't seen anything yet? Maybe held draymonds arm when he fell on him but that's about it and if that's dirty bogut is the dirtiest player in the league
It wasn't that dirty but he definitely dragged Green down. No biggie, but people don't need to leap to his defence so much, or in Boti's case, invent a scenario which didn't occur.

Give me a player that works hard and knows the game and continues to develop their talent any day over one who has natural ability but never apply themselves. And delay is certainly talented enough to find his spot in the NBA, just because he missed the initial draft does not mean he is not talented enough, think you will find the rest of the NBA are now looking at him differently.
Steph curry was never considered even good enough for college , he too proved them all wrong
Yes but Steph was picked 7th overall. Everyone thought he was good enough for the NBA, no one thought Delly was.
Please name 3 NBA players that are naturally talented but don't work hard. I'm so excited to hear who you name. Because I bet you my house id still pick them over a little hamster that occasionally has a decent game
No one thought Steph was college worthy now he's an MVP, all NBA first team etc
Delly killed it in college but now people are mega excited when he manages to score 10 points. If he was so good in college where are all his awards? Why isn't he a starter or 6th man?

All I know is I will be the only guy on the playground in Kuala Lumpur sporting one!! It will fit nicely with my Mills jersey.
I'm in Beijing for work at the end of June, will check out the factories, thanks Double Clutch.
And defence isn't a talent ?????
The game of basketball is not just about scoring
No it's a skill, but he does have that skill.
Unfortunately it's the only skill he has and it's very unfortunate that Kyrie went down and that Delly was forced to play so many minutes with a very small skill set.
Off the bench for 15 a game he won't get exposed anywhere near how much has has the last couple of game
