NBA Store has 'Buck Stops Here' T-shirts for sale
The NBA never seems to miss a chance to make money off of merchandise.
In the wake of the Milwaukee Bucks ending the Golden State Warriors' 28-game wining streak and snapping their NBA record 24-0 start to the season, the NBA has created the "Buck Stops Here" T-shirts in honor of the Bucks' victory Sunday night.
That's right, Bucks fans, for a mere $27.99 you can own a T-shirt that commemorates a regular-season win in December.
Also, in addition to having fans wear "24-1" T-shirts this past Sunday night, the Bucks are giving away the game-used ball in the team's 108-95 victory.
All things considered, it was a great moment for the Bucks to end the Warriors' winning ways, but the team, along with the NBA, just might be going a bit overboard in attempting to cash in on the victory. For instance, Milwaukee is just 10-15 on the season despite elevated expectations following a playoff appearance last season and the signing of free agent big man Greg Monroe, currently sitting at 13th in the Eastern Conference, ahead of only the one-win Philadelphia 76ers and 7-17 Brooklyn Nets.
But the Bucks are the only team to defeat the defending NBA champions so far on this young season, and they — along with the league — sure aren't missing any chance to celebrate it.
