and they are just completely unnecessary, I don't see why anyone wants to wear them.


Well technically the original quote was in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

If D'antoni's comment was a joke, why'd he tell his team to ditch them after the 1st quarter?

In my personal experience, I have played basketball with a headband (as a joke), and then also played for years without a headband. I have had long hair, short hair, no hair, everything in between. I have found almost zero difference in the amount of sweat that gets in your eyes. when your flying around, playing hard, sweat isn't going to be conveniently stopped by a thin cotton band around your forehead.


Look, I really don't care if guys want to wear it for looks... but the idea that they provide some useful impact is just ludicrous.


What's ludicrous is you confusing your opinion with fact.

Great idea. As we can all see, the Chicago Bulls fell apart after they relaxed this rule for Ben Wallace. One year they make it as far as they have since Jordan left. The next they're destoyed and the coach is the first of the season kicked out the door.

Down with headbands!

Up with miniskirts!

I think the team collectively chose to take 'em off. Banks and Diaw kept theirs on, so w/e.

Blow it outta proportion, he said it jokingly, I watched it on local news here and he was smiling when he said it. :roll:
