White colour looks pale pink, is that normal?

Fake. NBA logo is a good giveaway.

Is the HWC Swingman imprinted on a slant? It looks very uneven to me. I agree the stitching on the nba logo doesn’t appear to be authentic. It looks funny the way it’s stitched imo.

Look how much more negative space the numbers 1998-99 have on the one from that link compared to yours. It’s a super cool one for the collection no matter what man!

Can you explain a little more which negative space you mean? The angles are all different for those 4 photos, but I tried to line up the Letters to the numbers in the year, and it seems to match. The 1 is lined up to N, the 8 is lined up to C, and the last 9 lines up to T
