The Truth Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Dwyane Wade's tinted goggles have been banned by the NBA. After a hands-on review at league headquarters in Manhattan Thursday afternoon, the league has rejected the shaded goggles Wade planned to wear against the Knicks. Officials determined there was too much tinting and it would have given him a competitive advantage because opponents would not be able to see his eyes. Wade, who has been suffering some light sensitivity after a bout with a migraine last weekend, practiced with the glasses over the last several days and was going to use them out of precaution at Madison Square Garden.NBA Bans Tinted Goggles http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/2/50smh.gif Edited January 28, 2011 by HOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just wear regular goggles like everyone else, I don't see why that's a big deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Well, this actually does make sense. It would be a competitive advantage because of not being able to read his eyes. I thought those goggles were ridiculous anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truth Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 haha w/e broskies. I'm calling conspiracy here. I think Stern was just looking out for his Knicks. I mean, they're only goggles. how are they going to create a 'competitive advantage?' wow, what a mature title meh, it had to come out sometime. I think I hate Stern more than anyone in the world besides George W. Bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted January 28, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 When I'm defending point guards, I have to look up at their eyes before they show me they are going to make a move with the ball. It's the only way I know when to gamble on defense, and what may be going on behind me. Also, a lot of guards will follow the screener with their eyes, and that helps me figure out where he's going as well. Ever rip a player when he's looking up at the clock? It's a smart move to ban them, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 He needed dark glasses/goggles because of the migraines he's been having lately. The pain in his head went away but his eyes were still sensitive to bright light. No problem with them doing this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no immediate need for him to return, the team isn't exactly in any trouble without him for a few more games(although he is out tonight because of an unrelated injury) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truth Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 If they're only goggles and they don't provide a competitive advantage, how would banning them be 'looking out for the Knicks'? Wade wanted to wear the goggles because they helped his sensitive eyes. by not letting him wear them, he plays worse and the Knicks have a better shot at winning.

Let's make one of our biggest cash cows suffer through migranes so the Knicks have a better chance of winning. If that was his plan then it sure back fired because he had one of the best games of his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted January 30, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Stern decided he was going to help the Knicks this time around, because he didn't feel as if he got his money's worth when he paid off the refs during the 2006 NBA Finals.
