Goggles/glasses used to be all over the NBA back in the day. Whatever happened to them? Seems like nobody wears them anymore. Why did they disappear? Has anybody seen anyone in the NBA wearing goggles/glasses recently?

They did nothing.

Good question, Im guessing players that would need them now use contact lenses or get laser eye surgery.

If only Bo Outlaw still in the league, he'll still be rocking the goggles.

Lasik

great thread.

we need a brave nonconformist to do for the sports goggle what kayne west did for those stupid sunglasses that are all the rage now.

Carr wore them for protection after he got poked in the eye.

Why is Big T's Utah and number backwards?

QFT

Contacts? They had contacts in the '80s and '90s.

I'm guessing Lasik is the big difference, since they did have contacts in the 80s and 90s. Though maybe its the development of more comfortable lenses.

cause im sure it was really comfortable playing basketball in your glass contacts.
