The clip of Donyell Marshall entering a game without his jersey a couple of weeks ago has to be one of the funniest things to happen in the NBA all season, but Marshall wants to clear the air on exactly what happened. From his blog:I actually was nervous going into that game, but I think the wardrobe malfunction helped ease it. In a way, I could do no wrong in that game because everything was going to be overshadowed by the wardrobe malfunction anyway. I was nervous, but looking back on it, I'm glad I did do it. It helped me calm my nerves.The reason he said he was nervous was because it was his first game back after missing almost three months of action with a wrist injury. He also describes how he's still trying to find his rhythm, comparing these last several games as his second "training camp." I can believe that: he's shooting just .250 from the floor so far and has yet to crack double-digits in a game.
But I do have to straighten out the ESPN report that says I forgot my jersey. That's not true. My game jersey came off when I took off my warmup top. What's funny is I didn't even think about it until I heard the P.A. announcer call the delay of game. I wear an UnderArmor tank top underneath my jersey because the material irritates my skin, and I knew something felt strange when I took the floor.
