Call me crazy but reebok made a decent NBA jersey its first season it had the contract for a few teams 01-02. The first run of reebok authentics were real good quality.
They got worse and worse each year though. They screwed up the piping on the magic jersey with the stars to the point that its a huge difference between the reebok and its champion counterpart.
Some lebron road cavs authentics had way wider sleeves then they were supposed to and they had quality issues in 04-05 and 05-06 as well.
My garnett, Payton sonics, and Steve Francis pinstripe rockets were all real good quality reeboks though.
Nike on the other hand started slacking on the quality around 02-03 and 03-04. I worked at a jersey store during that time and I remember thinking the quality was off on alot of the dri fit nike authentics.
They had sizing descrapncies as well. Some Nike dri fit authentics with the older jocktag fit way to small. It was 52s that fit like 44s and what have you.
