JCMJ Terrible Jersey Inductee
Jerry Stackhouse Philadelphia 76ers Jersey
Owner: Rid of JCMJ
Year: 1996
Age: 12
Category: Never Lived Up to Hype/ On Team for like 2 Freaking Months
Why It Was Terrible: 1996...I was in the 6th grade. Basketball was my favorite sport (i like the way they dribble up and down the court) and the Sixers were my favorite team. They sucked. Even worse than that they kept drafting stiffs. A sting of flops in the draft like Shawn Bradley, Clarence Weatherspoon, and Sharone Wright kept the Sixers in the basement. Along comes Stack. Another one in a long like of guys who got the "Next Jordan" tag. Plus he was from North Carolina, my favorite college team. This jersey was a no brainer. I saved up my money and bought it myself. It was the first jersey I ever owned. The next year the Sixers drafted Allen Iverson and I was ready for the greatest backcourt in the history of hoops. I was even tricked into buying a shirt with both Iverson and Stackhouse on it advertising them as some dynamic duo. That shirt is now covered in paint. The jersey soaked with tears.

Dude I can relate. I have Stack AND Iverson jerseys, both of which have been forever retired to the dark recesses of my closet, along with Lindros, Ricky Watters and Bobby Abreu. Not that I wouldn't still wear the AI jersey. It's just that it was white and I spilled soda on it several times. This is why middle schoolers shouldn't be allowed to wear jerseys.
I had the red replica Stack 76ers jersey, which was handsome, but as you say, totally worthless after a very short time. I was, however, able to unload it on eBay for a decent return several years later. Must have been a Jer-Bear enthusiast.
Well the only positive I can take out of this is that the mentally challenged, or as I like to say 'retarded people' are capable of using computers. The Stack jersey isn't about what team he is one, or if the jersey is current. Wearing this jersey lets everybody know two things: One, you are the fucking man, and two, if you are playing a pickup game of basketball, don't count on passing up any shots, contested or otherwise. STACK FOR LIFE!
i had this jersey, cos i liked stackhouse and i had the stripey filas to go with it, but gave it to friend of mine when he left cos i had the same style iverson rookie jersey, much nicer
