One NBA jersey every day from Dec. 1 through 25 is selected to create the ultimate advent calendar countdown for basketball buffs.

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

Now that the calendar has turned to the month of December, not only are we smack dab in the middle of the holiday season, but we are (perhaps even more importantly) knee-deep in the weeds of another year of NBA action.

What better way to combine the two joyous occasions than to count down the days until Christmas with a new NBA jersey to represent each day.

You can keep your chocolates, and trinkets, and any other kind of treats that may be hidden away in your advent calendars, this one is full of hoops history to help celebrate the season.

This isn’t simply a list of the best players to wear each jersey number, but a finely curated sampling of NBA fashion history taking into account the player, the looks, the eras, and styles to truly represent all the wonderful things fans appreciate about the great game of basketball.

Let’s get started.
