I can answer that. My jersey from nba store new york was made In honduras hahaI bought ten a cpl of years ago from a chinese site for about $15 each dlvd... they were pretty good except 5 of them were wrongly sized... Im an XL and these were S-M... Sold them on ebay for approx $30-$35 each detailing the sizing error and those I sold on ebay paid for them all.... The Swingman Ginobli I bought fell apart quickly but the other four have held up well and they look fine (just as good as the one I paid $100 for from Athletes foot before I found these)
Where do you think the replica ones from the NBA store are made???
Wouldn't buying a fake jersey be like buying a fake card?
Dunno..........

I bought them from retail stores like Footlock/Sportsco etc as well as on ebay (which are mostly likely knock offs) some fit better then other, some have softer more comfortable material etc, there doesn't seem to be a method to the maddness and it doesn't seem like the ones I paid more for are 'better'. If I had more money I'd like to by the authentics stuff as it seems much nicer stitching and fabric quality than any of the swingman jerseys I've purchased.
Not really! Aside from the licensing issues, It's more like buying "wave zone" (or whatever it's called) surf gear from Target instead of buying Quicksilver from a dedicated surf shop!
When the big brands are getting their stuff made in the same countries, why should you pay them top dollar so they can swim in $100 bills?
People say you get what you pay for, but I have received some average quality "Official" NBA gear in the past so it's not true here!
The reality is that with Chinese stuff you just to look harder to find the goo stuff, but at the price you pay, it may be worth it!
