From ESPN.com's Uni-Watch
It was there when you sat down to Thanksgiving dinner, and it's there when you're doing your Christmas shopping. It distracts you when you're at work, and it haunts you when you're trying to go to sleep. It's that nagging thought that won't go away, gnawing at your brain stem until you finally hear yourself shouting it out loud:
"What is the friggin' deal already with Kobe Bryant's tights?!"
Kobe's hose, which he began wearing toward the end of the preseason, are the latest and presumably final stage in his long legwear evolution. Previous phases have included bare legs, a calf band, a calf sleeve and a full-length leg sleeve.
Those styles all had their pros and cons, but the tights -- which Kobe sometimes supplements with an added pair of undershorts, but not always -- are a total dork-o-rama.
It's bad enough for an athlete to mimic the leotard look; it's worse when he wears an actual leotard. Seriously, it's a bad sign when you can't tell which person in this photo looks like the bigger doofus
