Kobe is shooting and faking too much

We’re not going to be like everyone else and just pile on Kobe Bryant every day. Instead, we’re going to do it twice a day, and we may start blogging weekends, just so we make sure to use all…

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.
