The one thing no one really mentions about BA is his ability to wear a jersey.....
Sure they do, it's just that no one reads those interviews because they're not in Details Magazine or on the Urban Outfitters website.
From ESPN:
You wear a lot of jerseys. Were there any sports you played when you were younger? No, just soccer. I'm not really that into sports. I always liked hockey jerseys. I played soccer for my school for a second.
I think you're one of the few people who's pulled off the hockey jersey in skating. Yeah, you gotta have big shoulders or something.
I used to play hockey and later on in college, I remember wearing a hockey jersey while I was skating. And my friends were like, "Man, you've gotta take that thing off. It looks like a cut off moo-moo." Yeah, they're pretty big. I have a Red Wings one and I think they did well last year, so I didn't want to wear it. I didn't want to be walking down the street and have someone come up to me, shouting numbers and players' names at me.
I got a Cubs hat last year, just to rep the Midwest. Then, they started doing really well, so people would come up to me all the time and want to talk about it. All I knew was that they usually do bad, but they were doing well then, so I would just say, "Oh, yeah, they've really turned it around this year…they usually do so badly," all the time. [Laughs] You're like, "Sh*t man, I should learn a few things just to say to these people.
