http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2390599How stupid. They're not to be a fashion statement or to "sell sex" as Greg Anthony put it. They give you better compression in the legs, which gets more blood moving, which keeps them warmer. A hot chick wearing them under a skirt is selling sex, not some player doing it keep his muscles lose. If someone really wanted to make a fashion statement, they'd wear a tutu or a toga
Stern needs to go. Soon he's going to band headbands. Then shoes, then jerseys, and make the players fucking nude.
I totally disagree with this because tights are very comfortable to some players. The tights are selling sex or selling a ganster image. This is just another bad move by the NBA
That's just flat out retarded, tights are essential for certain atheletes... I really don't know what's going on with this...
Tights also keep muscles from fatigueing because the tights keep the muscles in the legs close to the bone so they don't bounce/jiggle around when a player runs or sprints. This makes it easier to run in the 4th quarter and such.
I'll tell you what, I played 4 years of Varsity Football and I started wearing tights in my Sophomore year and wouldn't have played a game after without them.
