Will T-mac wear that leg sleeve the rest of the season

I think this is what was banned.

 

That's a good thing. He looks like a ballerina.


If I was commissioner, I would ban arm sleeves. Too many wannabe superstars wear them these days. Also I might look into banning headbands because they just look ghey imo.

 

LOL!!! You started a trend, an annoying and irritating one but a trend none the less.

 

Seems like the league never banned leg sleeves, only tights.

these were the days? NBA TIGHTS?

After instituting a "business casual" dress code and cracking down on the length of uniform shorts, the NBA has identified its next fashion crusade.

League and team sources have told ESPN.com that the NBA, starting next season, intends to ban the tights sported at various points this season by several players, including three MVP candidates: Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

Although NBA officials are not publicly commenting on the issue, sources say that the league simply does not like the look of players wearing visible hose. It's believed that the league office, which already has regulations in place to curtail short lengths, can unilaterally outlaw tights by simply amending its uniform code before the 2006-07 season.

Sources say that the NBA informed its 30 teams at last month's competition committee meeting in Houston that tights would be banned immediately after All-Star Weekend. But the league wound up holding off on that ban, perhaps to avoid a new controversy after the initial furor sparked by the off-court dress code faded quickly and quietly.

Players who wish to wear tights are required to send the league a written request from a team doctor detailing a "medical need" for the leggings. That's because the league, according to sources, believes that some players are merely wearing them because they like the look.

Tight wearers

The following NBA players have been spotted wearing tights this season:

• Ray Allen, Seattle
• Andrew Bogut, Milwaukee
• Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers
• Vince Carter, New Jersey
• Eddy Curry, New York
• Samuel Dalembert, Philadelphia
• Allen Iverson, Philadelphia
• LeBron James, Cleveland
• Toni Kukoc, Milwaukee
• Rashad McCants, Minnesota
• Michael Redd, Milwaukee
• Joe Smith, Milwaukee
• Jerry Stackhouse, Dallas
• Nick Van Exel, San Antonio
• Dwyane Wade, Miami
• Gerald Wallace, Charlotte
• Chris Webber, Philadelphia
• Bonzi Wells, Sacramento
• Jason Williams, Miami
• Mo Williams, Milwaukee

The ban only applies to male players, I believe.

 

Tmac probably doesn't wear it anymore because he's past the fashion part of his game.

What he wore tonight was a tight just to keep his knee warm.

 

who cares?

 

Man, do you realize what you are doing?! You are making T-mac&Yao=RING look less cool and unique!!! What will he have to come up with now to stand out? ​

 

NBA players should start a trend where they wear championship rings. That way, wannabe stars don't get to copy superstars.
