    hakeem made the goggles and knee pads famous, michael was the first to wear the black socks and baggy shorts, what happened to tracy's trademark leg sleeves? :confused:

    Weren't they disallowed by the league? Are Wade and LeBron wearing them anymore?

    I don't think you are allowed to anymore due to the dress code rules.

    Yeah, basically the NBA is r****ded and thinks the players look like pansies with them on and it detracts from the league image, when in reality there is no way you can think someone as tall, masculine, and talented as T-Mac or LeBron is a pansy.

    he's ditched leg problems in favor of the bad back excuse.

    first off leg problems can lead to back problems....i dont think any of us know exacly why he stopped wearing it so lets stop speculating....who cares anyway.
    second to the dude who said jordan started the baggy pants thing......it was actually our very own juwan and the fab five who popularized the baggy shorts.

    Yes we do. He stopped wearing it because the league said he had to stop wearing them.

    the nba has done nothing but be detrimental to the game this year...first the crap ball...then give refs the use of a tech as a tool of personal vendetta and now this unnecessary prohibition of leg sleeves...yeah...leg sleeves are totally gonna tarnish the image of american basketball :rolleyes: but not a riot at the knicks-nuggets game where you only gave a 15 game suspension to the ring leader...
