LeBron James' put in tight spot

NBA ban on support hose tights - James put in tight spot

The NBA will be banning tights next season, according to a report on ESPN.com. That means James and his contemporary stars' efforts to make support hose cool have been nixed.

Much to the dismay of Nike, which was getting upward of $35 a pair for them while their signature stars sported them during games this season, they've apparently gone the way of throwback jerseys and gold and diamond chains: On to the NBA's banned apparel list.
