Yeah, I've seen this before but was to disgusted to speak. No offense but if anyone here owns one of these, you should truly be ashamed of yourself.

I think I saw that one of the websites that also shows like a black and red soccerball-shaped pot.

I'm sure there are some basketball fans who are also tea drinkers. And it's 4 dollars off!!

:D

I'm saving for an yixing pot engraved with cigar smoking dogs playing poker.

Please be careful, I almost choked on my tea when I read this.

The artist who made the pot is named 颜惠芬. Maybe we could write a formal letter of protest.

I think it was a decent idea but a failed implementation. They should have just put the logo on the side instead of making the whole thing a basketball. Too much going on for me.

That was a joke right? Sometimes it's hard to tell on the internet.

I dunno. I kinda like it.

It seems to be a clay pot that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Now there is a pot!
Wonder if comes with a guarantee that you can infuse sweat socks and the brew will come out tasting like the finest tea? Clearly an appropriate claim for such a pot.

Good tea drinking,

Hey puerh king,
I'm the guy who's selling this ugly teapot!
You are right, this is a very very ugly teapot that I wouldn't want it even its FREE.
All my friend who visit my site ask me why you list that NBA teapot???
But I have to say, this pot is every where in China! We do get NBA fan who buy this pot! haha! But I'm not selling this item anymore, I was working for a tea shop earlier this month but I'm quiting now! They're selling me horrible tea at a high price! I buy tea and teaware myself now to make sure the price and quility are good! Please feel free to visit my site whenever you want to! I've list some new teaware and teapot on my site today!
Sorry about the ugly teapot! Haha
