The NBA 2025 Draft day brought many exciting moments for fans and the league in general. From the much-anticipated Cooper Flagg pick to the Ace Bailey drama, the fanbase has seen it all. Most recently, the New Orleans Pelicans’ No. 7 overall pick, Jeremiah Fears, has been making rounds in and around the NBA community.
Fears has determined that, like his time at Oklahoma, he will wear the number 0 in the NBA. A “0 Fears” jersey would prove popular at concert venues and frat parties throughout America, but NBA fans hoped Fears would continue with his standard number. The New Orleans Pelicans have announced that the next cult classic NBA jersey has arrived in their web store.
This confirms rumors that Fears will be wearing 00 after a template jersey appeared online. This has sent many NBA fans into a frenzy, with some claiming the jersey combination to be the ‘best.’ This move also seems like a nice attraction to pull the upcoming generation of basketball fans.
