headband ban stands

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Good rule, keep it. Dont need another rucker park team. The NBA has plenty of those.

Headbands = Street ball?

There is a difference in visibility and utility between headbands and wristbands.

The visibility part I understand, though I don't think it's a big deal at all, but the utility of headband is the same as a wristband...it absorbs sweat.

Dwill sure looked silly with a headband in nj. I say let them where them. It's kind of like the old Utah liquor laws.

The eyebrows/ridges direct sweat away from the eyes, the hands have no such construction.

They definitely aren't the cure all, especially if you sweat a lot. I know even in my crappy basketball class (aka the PE class you could take and just play basketball) once I bought a headband it helped a lot (before that I was just rubbing my face on shirt constantly), even though I think they look goofy as hell. But we tolerate many goofy looking things for the sake of utility, in both basketball and in life.

As we see prominently displayed here by Pau Gasol:

No way, dude. It's hopper and/or ADD trash.

I think they make players look goofy. More like they're going to play at Rucker Park as opposed to a professional league. Did you ever seen Kobe, Jordan, Magic, Stockton, or Malone wearing rediculous headbands? Makes them look like they should be playing in the Busch leagues.

 

[Nate505]

I remember Wilt Chamberlain wearing one. He was pretty good.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Paul Pierce and Lebron James have been pretty good. In addition to Rip Hamilton and 'Sheed when they were good.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't ban headbands if I were the coach.

you don't get involved in the act of sweating much do you? Or you live up to your name, One Brow and have one mean looking Uni Brow. Eyebrows aren't going to keep sweat from getting in your eyes.
