On eBay, you can find almost anything you may need. You can also find a whole bunch of shit you totally don't. 

If you search "NBA Game Worn" or "NBA Game Used", you'll stumble upon a treasure trove of forgotten gems from basketball's heyday. Some of them are interesting items like Dominique Wilkins' rookie year game-worn Brooks sneakers or a Bulls jersey Dennis Rodman wore during his Championship run in '97. Both dope items.

Most of what you'll find, though, is TRASHHHH *Flexbomb*.

The majority of NBA players never became All-Stars, yet their stuff still had to end up somewhere. Most of the good stuff is probably framed in their homes, prominently displayed above fireplaces and on hallway walls. The rest? Well, see for yourself. From Horace Grant's kneepads to Chris Kaman's game-worn Dadas, these are 12 Terrible Game-Worn NBA Items You Can Get on eBay Right Now.

Buying used knee pads is borderline pauseworthy to begin with. Besides, if you're copping used Horace Grant gear, you've gotta get the goggles.

Not Available Interstitial

Worn by: Brian Scalabrine

Cost: $399.99

Details: "Pair of game-used St. Patrick's Day shorts of Brian Scalabrine purchased directly from the Chicago Bulls Charities."

North's reaction: 

10.

Actually—this isn't that terrible. Four hundred bills might be a bit stiff, but you'll be the real MVP of St. Patty's Day in game-worn White Mamba green shorts.

11. "1 Pair of White Game Used Miami Heat Mid NBA Socks *Sale* Good Condition!"

Not Available Interstitial

Not Available Interstitial

Worn by: Truck Robinson

Cost: $299.99

Details: "Very rare! PHOENIX SUNS TRUCK ROBINSON 1979 GAME WORN SHORTS! AWESOME PAIR OG SUNS SHORTS! GET THESE WHILE YOU CAN!"

North's reaction: 

14.

Even North has to stop you right there. There are plenty of game-worn short shorts out there but these are next-level. Were these nut-huggers some form of '70s torture? Did terrorists at the time get waterboarded before or after they were forced to play 48 minutes in this ball vice? The leg holes are ABOVE the crotch. Wow.

15. "Game Used Worn TORONTO RAPTORS Chris Bosh NBA Basketball ARM Sweat Band"

Not Available Interstitial

Worn by: Chris Bosh

Cost: $34.99

Details: "Game used condition. There is visible wear and pilling throughout."

16.

Look, Chris Bosh is our guy. He's a stand-up dude, an excellent player, and consistently gives back to the Miami community. Unfortunately right now he's at home still recovering from a blood clot found in his lung. All indications are that he should recover fine, but...maybe this $35 arm band isn't the worst investment?

17. "Authentic D-League Anaheim Arsenal Jersey Game worn used by Noel Felix NBA"

Not Available Interstitial

Worn by: Noel Felix

Cost: $110

Details: The Anaheim Arsenals was a professional basketball team which played in NBA Development League from 2006-2009."

North's reaction: 

18.

Noel Felix D-League jersey? For $110? Listen, if you're Noel Felix (who played one year in the NBA) and somebody actually pays $100+ for your D-League jersey you should be very afraid. The type of person who would buy this is the same type of person who would trap Noel Felix in a well and force him to keep lotioning his skin. 

19. "Chris Kaman Autograph Dual Signed Game Used NBA Basketball Shoes"

Not Available Interstitial

Worn by: Chris Kaman

Cost: $169.99

Details: "YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!"

North's reaction: 

20.

Yup, those are Dadas. Chris Webber Dadas worn in-game by Chris Kaman. Honestly, it's hard to tell, but I think these are so terrible that they're actually a bargain. Some of us wanna hoop in Jordans. Some of us wanna hoop in gigantic Chris Webber C4 Dadas previously worn by Chris Kaman.

21. "NBA Summer League Charlotte Bobcats Hornets Game Used Jersey Reebok"

Not Available Interstitial

Worn by: ???

Cost: $44.99

Details: "Item comes from a smoke free and pet free environment."

North's reaction: 

22.

Summer league Bobcats jersey? Unless you live in Charlotte and just want to prove to your future kids that there was once a team called the "Bobcats" this is completely useless. It IS reversible, though. So it's perfect for embarrassing yourself in both home and away situations.

23. "Champion Philadelphia 76ers Game Worn / Issued Warm-Up Pants"

Whatever, North. You can't change my mind. I'm a Sixers fan and these warm-up pants are certified heat. And only 80 bucks? COPPED.
