I know Rose seems kind of timid and isn’t always the smoothest operator in front of the media, but he is a pretty cool customer in this commercial with KG. Enjoy!

New Shirt Gives Athletes Superhuman Abilities

NQTC reader Glook pointed out to me that there was some new Adidas tank top that supposedly increases a wearer’s vertical leap by 4%. A shirt. Not supplements or shoes, a shirt. After he showed me an ad from a magazine, I finally bought in. I find this very difficult to believe, but Adidas seems to stand by its claim. According to the Adidas Press Room, the shirt increases speed and power as well:

[A]didas TECHFIT has been tested on the ultimate stage most notably by 2009 NBA All-Star Dwight Howard. TECHFIT PowerWeb is proven to increase speed by 1.1 percent, improve vertical leap by 4 percent, increase power output by 5.3 percent and increase overall endurance levels.

What exactly is “power output”? I assume that this does not increase verrtical leap unless it is more aerodynamic somehow and the person they tested it on was jumping in front of a giant turbine or exhaust fan or something. Can we get one of these for Aaron Gray? Oh and if Adidas would be kind enough to create a shirt that makes someone be less of a retard, we should buy one for Tyrus.
