Players who wore tights...

by **jonthefon** on 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?

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

by **jonthefon** on 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
