Players who wore tights...

Wed Mar 21, 2007 9:18 pm

Well, for our "sport studies research assignment", we have to research a particularly unique form of protection in any type of sport, i.e. helmet visor, arm guards in cricket.

Well, I chose mine to do it overall as "leg protection in basketball", which included pads, sleeves...

And for some extra research info, I added stuff about athletic tights, and I'm curious about if anyone got or know a list of all the players who wore athletic tights at some point of last season?

Doesn't look any more stylish to me than pantyhose would. :shake:

All right, thanks for the replies, I wrote a rather short section detailing the suppose purpose, and how all sorts of players wore them...and the ban ;)

I still got some stuff to do though, but should be fine.

Thanks again :)

Sam Dlaembert used those tights, IIRC.

If they were used as leg protection, why were they banned this season?

Sun Mar 25, 2007 10:57 pm

Because Stern thought It's becoming a fashion to wear them...

Mon Mar 26, 2007 6:13 am

Stern and his fashion code.

Anyway, I don't think many of them wore them for more than a couple of games.

it sucks!! the commissioner sucks!! eventhough players wore it as a fashion accessory, it's still a way for them to popularize themselves.. since the players who wore them at games standout among the players in the game as you can see on TV
