Jason Williams and Dwayne Wade both have the Kobe tights on. I remember Around the Horn was making fun of Kobe wearing them on opening night. Now half the league is wearing them. |

Yep. They're eating their words now. _________________ Stephon Marbury on Kobe: "He's the only person on 'dis earth that can do 'dat. He guards people, like shuts 'em down. Then, to do 'dat on 'da offensive end. It's like 'Damn, I can't score on him AND he about to bust my ass." |

- Bogut
- Michael Redd
- D-Wade
- J Williams
- LeBron
- Ray Allen
- Shaq (on one leg)
People are wearing them left and right... yet Kobe was "bagged" on them for wearing them and Bron Bron is a "trend setter."

During a Cavs game a few weeks ago, they talked about Lebron wearing them, as if he was the 1st and no one else had even thought of such a thing. |

LeBron had on WHITE ones. Looked a bit...different. Not saying anything bad about it. Just...."DIFFERENT". _________________ Stephon Marbury on Kobe: "He's the only person on 'dis earth that can do 'dat. He guards people, like shuts 'em down. Then, to do 'dat on 'da offensive end.

yeah, BSPN is going crazy like LeBron was the first ever to wear tights, but Kobe wore nothing but tights untill January, and BSPN is just praising him for wearing tights, making a total highlight devoted to them |

No love for Ocho! The worst part was he wasn't doing it to be cool he was literally doing it to keep his legs warm (not like they look cool anyway). I don't know about the whole Allen Iverson thing with the sock on his arm that seemed more like a fashion statement then this. |

Iverson has to wear that sock on his arm to cover his tats. I think some of his tats has profanity on it.

nick van exel wore them vs the Lakers last season too - I know cause I sat on the court that night, and my 11 year old daughter who was sitting with me yelled NICE TIGHTS to van exel - who spun around, realized he'd been dissed by an 11 year old and cracked up all the way down court. the whole front row cracked up too. |

I'm pretty sure Kobe is the first to sport the full length tights. They even talked about how Nike would cash in on Kobe wearing their new product by selling them to the general public.
I looked through getty images and there are none of Iverson wearing any tights or even long socks in 2005 (last season). Here are some of Van Exel in LA wearing what look like tights in one picture but actually aren't.

OT: But the Heat and Shaq look bad. Shaq looks real bad. Diop is killing him. |

The media ripped kobe when he wore them at the beginning of the season. Short after more than half a dozen of kobe's peers start to copy the look. Now the media pretend they've never seen the tights before. :roll: |

You know, the way the Mavs are whopping the Heat - our performance without Mihm and an injured LO looks much better
Atleast we had a lead in the 3rd ...
Miami is getting blown out !
30-20 record for the Heat. This was a team that was supposed to have Detroit's record according to ESPN in the summer.
Exactly why you don't overpay for talent on decline, Pat. And I'm not just talking about Shaq. Walker and Williams are not the same players they were 3-4 years ago. |

Redd and McCants wore them early on. Maybe a few games after Kobe started to. To my knowledge Kobe was the first to wear them. |

Michael Redd wore them about two weeks after the Lakers were in Milwaukee. He and Maurice Williams came out with the white ones BEFORE Lebron.
Pic 1
Rashad McCants didn't wear them to begin the season, but shortly after at home vs. the Clips he sported them. The game two days later was against the Lakers.

This is all just from looking at the pics... |
