    He still wore that last year and earlier this year, it's garbage. The true thing was the leg sleeve, it always has been.

    They wont let players wear sleeves. But they let Rip Hamilton wear a Phantom of the Opera mask his entire career.

    He's pushing himself through right now I think.He's not moving well enough and the elevation he has is still not that good,but good news is his jumpers are falling this time and he did move well without the ball. :D

    So is he going to start improving if he continues to play? Or is he just going to get worse? He didnt play bad tonight but he could of been much better. I would rather just rest him up until the all star break..

    I think it was just rust. Let him get a few games under his belt and I'm sure he would return to form.

    rip's mask is a good story for then nba, he won a championship with it.

    The sleeves, on the arm and leg, are considered one of those "thuggish" hip hop style fads that the league and the wealthier season ticket holders want no part of. If they could figure out a way to make it seem wrong they would outlaw cornrows and headbands.

    Dwyane Wade won a championship in leg & elbow sleeves. How come that wasnt a good story?

    From 3 years go
    All these thugs, projecting their trashiness in everyone's face. Andrew Bogut and Toni Kukoc had the nerve to bring their gangster mentality from overseas into the NBA. David Stern better stop talking about European expansion or hooligans will come in and destroy the sport.

    He and the luxury suites holders need to advance their plan of Private School NBA, before the fans migrate over to family friendly football.

    Rip wears the mask because he's broken his nose so many times he has to wear it.
