    Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - I think he wore those goofy looking goggles for a reason, and he is arguably the best player of all time.

    melo wears glasses, and id say he's an above average baller. I'm sure plenty of players have beer goggles, but thats something different.

    I know Pippen wore glasses and he was definitely a good baller!

    He wore them due to the injury he suffered from a Bill Cartwright elbow. Blew out his orbital bone or whatever it's called.

    Thanks Dr. of Dunk. I remembered that he wore them for a little while, but couldn't remember why.

    Tons of dudes in the NBA wear contacts or have had laysic (sp?) surgery. This is a "nonpoint" your making.
