TJ Adiletta: The Man, The Myth, The Legend

by Colin Flynn

He is undoubtedly the most recognizable player in House Basketball. For some, junior TJ Adiletta represents what House Basketball is all about. He may not be the biggest, nor the strongest, or have the best shot in the game, but he does have one thing that no other player in House can beat him at: the swag he brings to the game. Adiletta is unmatched in the outfits he wears to his games. His preferred getup consists of a vast assortment of apparel. He wears white Nike Hyperdunks, Irish themed leg sleeves with purple high socks over them, his House jersey with cut-off sleeves, a pink headband, and not one, but two shooting sleeves. One is just a plain red color, but the other is an insane Skittle-themed sleeve. I asked this superstar why he dresses himself like this during a game, and Adiletta responded, “You see, I’m not that great of a Basketball player, so to make up for it I have to dress to impress.” Fellow House Basketball player and DHS junior Brian Walsh complimented Adiletta on his apparel, saying, “It brings a real edge to the game.” To cap off the regular season of House Basketball for Adiletta, he is the favorite to win Neirad's own award for "Most Swag". Be sure to check out Adiletta and his Lakers in the playoffs in the weeks to come.
