Men in tights: NBA just says 'No'
Dwyane Wade (above and below),
LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are among the NBA stars who've worn full–length tights in games this season.
James told Brian Windhorst of the Akron [Ohio] Beacon Journal, in a story last weekend, that "I don't see a reason why" they're being banned by the NBA starting next season.
James continued, "Guys are not wearing them just because they're trying to make a fashion statement because they're not cute at all."
Rather, said James, "They're comfortable and they kept my legs warm. When you have a knee injury or a leg injury, your leg can get stiffed up [sic] and go cold again. I need to look good when I play and I didn't look good when I had those on."

Actually, I like the look but it does kinda give the impression that he might break into a rousing rendition of "Tomorrow" or "Consider Yourself" at any second.
