    They are going to ban them b/c they look like a fashion statement? Whats next headbands?

    What a great thing to ban.
    Completely unnecessary.
    Don't know whats up with the management.

    I was thinkin the same thing! It seems as if they are trying to prep up nba players as if they are going ballroom dancing!

    Why don't we just have the players play the game in freaking business suits? My god.

    The NBA has to look less "thug/gangster" now that the NFL has cracked down on TD dances...

    If bogut and kukoc are wearing them, they defintely aren't a fashion statement.

    i always thought it looked a little weird... i could see why players might get upset over this rule, but hey, they get paid handsomely enough to follow any rules that come about

    i for one hate the spandex or the "pantyhose" these players are wearing, but this uniform thing is really getting ridiculous. nba's front office is goin overboard with this uniform control. very bad nba. once again, stern and co. are looking like some @ssh*les on suits (considering that they are). tsk tsk.

    The sleeve that AI wears on his arm or the "pantyhose" that T-Mac wears on his leg look pretty sleek IMO.

    I am proud of the Rockets. We have completely tight-free, cornrow-free team. Death to ugly trends.

    No tights. Nitpicky as hell. NBA suits couldn't be more obvious.

    I think that they should return to looking like athletes. That is, as they were prior to the arrival of Michael Jordan and his fashion ideas. I detest the street fashions that the players are playing in to-day!
