It has just been announced that the NBA will start allowing teams to sell advertising space on jerseys starting in 2017. This means that jersey's will feature ads similar to the Kia ads on the All-Star game jerseys this season. Along with ads being a topic of discussion, Adam Silver also revealed whether or not the Charlotte Hornets jersey will feature the Nike or Jumpman logo as the Hornets are owned by Michael Jordan and Nike will soon be the new sponsor for all NBA jerseys.
