March 31, 200620 yr That's such bulls***. Players seem to wear them for better compresion. Also, in a lot of areans, hockey rinks are underneath the court, so, it can be cold. Having such things are useful.

Players got a long just fine the previous 60 years in the NBA without resorting to tights.

I am sure that 7 foot tall, sweaty men, can deal with the "cold" coming from underneath the court. Come on, Kobe wore those tights like a queer.
March 31, 200620 yr The NBA is beyond ridiculous. They continue to drive me more and more to the college game by worrying about such trivial things. Plus I always though the tights were used for compression. No one is going to tell me they are stylish.
March 31, 200620 yr yeah people think the tights are ugly really whats the point of banning them... the NBA and NFL are starting to piss me off.....

Purple tights under yellow shorts isn't meant to be more of a fashion statement? I don't completely agree with the dress code when they are off the court, but I certainly do agree with standardizing uniforms while on the court. The NBA is certainly within their right. Personally, I also don't like seeing that players now wear something underneath their jerseys. And it only would have been a matter of time before some players came out wearing speedskating suits under their uniforms.
March 31, 200620 yr All I can say is good. I saw some wearing white ones, I forgot who they were but they looked terrible.
March 31, 200620 yr Whether you think they're ugly or not, there is 0 reason to ban them. I agree with the others who said the NBA and NFL are starting to piss them off.

March 31, 200620 yr QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 01:39 AM) the question isnt if they can... its why.... Because it looks ridiculous. The NBA is a business, a product, and it has uniform regulations just like many other companies do. They have a right to protect their image. And the NBA isn't all that strict. AI gets to wear his sleeve and 'Sheed always has shoe straps flapping all over the place, just to name a couple. Let's be completely honest, it's done more as a fashion statement than for actual use.

March 31, 200620 yr QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 01:55 AM) When's the first player going to try to wear his jersey backwards on purpose?
March 31, 200620 yr QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 01:12 AM) All I can say is good. I saw some wearing white ones, I forgot who they were but they looked terrible. LeBron did, and they did look stupid, but banning them is retarded.
March 31, 200620 yr QUOTE(Spiff @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 01:03 AM) LeBron did, and they did look stupid, but banning them is retarded. yeah, I just don't get it. I dont see what is so negative about wearing tights. Let them look silly if they want.
March 31, 200620 yr So should they not be able to wear Brace's either. I realize Brace's deal more with an injury thing but Kobe wore those compression tights because he said they helped him respond in back to back games, etc. Plus it helped keep his muscles warm when he was working back from an injury. I don't go to the game to see what the players wear, I go or watch because I want to see them play. The NBA needs to realize that. The dress code isn't the issue, its the lack of fundementals in this league thats the problem.
March 31, 200620 yr LeBron did, and they did look stupid, but banning them is retarded. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LeBron only wore his temporarily, to get some compression in his knee, b/c it was a bit sore.
