Mike Scott has become somewhat of an NBA style icon. Amongst an ever-deepening sea of pregame fashion, Scott’s fits have taken on a life of their own, especially because the Philadelphia 76ers wingman has developed a deep love of hockey jerseys. His collection of NHL threads is impressive, doubly so because he seems to have a custom name on the back of each one — for example, back in March, the Threegional Manager stepped out wearing an incredible San Jose Sharks jersey with “Daddy Shark” written across the back.
But on Wednesday night, as he strolled into the Wells Fargo Center ahead of the 76ers final game, Scott finally outdid himself.

Scott brought out a Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins jersey, with “From Dwight” scrolled across the back, a near exact replica of the jersey Dwight Schrute gives Michael Scott (get it?) for his birthday in season two of “The Office.” Of all the customized hockey jerseys Scott has brought out this season, this one is his masterpiece.
That wasn’t the only “Office”-themed piece of gear that found its way into an NBA arena on the final day of the regular season. Frank Kamisnky brought out a custom pair of Chris Paul’s signature shoes with the images of Schrute and “Prison Mike” on them, as well as the show’s logo from its title sequence and Scott’s “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” quote that he attributes to himself during the show.
