Just in time for Christmas, Nike has up the listing for the the official Kobe Bryant tights. At only $35, you should be able to easily outfit your entire team of family and friends in the Nike Pro/Basic Tight.
Stay warm in a lightweight body-fitting first layer.
Dri-FIT fabrication wicks moisture away from your body to keep you dry.
Flat-seam construction eliminates chafing.
Drawcord at waist makes for the perfect fit.
Fabric: Dri-FIT 85% polyester/15% spandex jersey. Imported.
We’ve already ordered ours, and judging by his statement, Marcus Camby has put in a request, as well.
“I don’t wear pantyhose.”
– Nuggets center Marcus Camby, noting that the protective black sleeve on his leg differs from tights worn by players such as Kobe Bryant this season.
Worn by “players such as”? “Such as”? Such as who else? Who the hell else is wearing tights? And taking a look at that picture from last night’s Spurs game, dude’s got his regular shorts, some more shorts, then the tights? Just how cold are your legs, Kobe?

To Marcus Camby: “Oh no you di-int!!” Seriously, he’s lucky he’s got a guy like Francisco Elson watching his back, or else Kobe would go all Peter Pan on his ass. Straight up.
Man, those tights are funny. I know they play in arena’s but…They sort of remind me of Breathe Right strips. You know the bandaids for the nose. Does anybody really need these things?
You know, there are many other players that either have worn them eother on one leg or both. Akeem Olojawan was one of the first to wear them. Recently, Jerry Stackhouse, #6 Antonio Daniels Washington 12/7/05, two players 11/26/05 on Memphis grizlies, one player on Milwaukee – Smith, and one or two on Phoenix on 12 /2/05. There is nothing wrong with that. I happen to own a few myself of the older styles. I also own Activskin for men. They prevent cramps in my calves ( lower leg muscles ) when working out or when on a long drive and cold night. good for sleep and thermal layer.
Just a thought.
you go kobe what ever helps!!!!!
There are other players out there that are wearing them. What is the big deal anyway? There are countries in europe selling them with a fly and are footed or footless as well. They are quite supportive and prevent cramps. I worn my tights while on treadmill to prevent cramping. I was able to go over mile and half without cramps at a fairly fast speed. Look at REDD and Mo Williams of Milwaukee, Keven Garnett, Players on Houston, Minnesota, and Jerry Stackhouse last year and this year. To name a few.
Stackhouse #42 – dallas 1/6/6
Redd and Mo Williams of Milwaukee 1/4/06
Dalambert – Phil 1/6/6
McCants of Minn 1/7/06
One of the Clippers also.
So what are you going to say now?
I’m a newspaper reporter doing a story about the tights trend in the NBA. If anyone would be willing to speak to me and offer a fan’s perspective, please email me at radams115@hotmail.com.
