^^ The Trailblazers actually have a no headband rule?

Really? The Trail Blazers??

You don't have to go that far back. I think Zach Randolph and Rasheed Wallace wore headbands in Portland, too. But maybe it had something to do with them trying to start over from the jailblazers era. Like a new image kind of thing. I'm not associated headbands with crime, but maybe it was just a way for them to change their look without redoing their identity.

BTW I hadn't heard of the no-headbands thing either, but if G-Wall isn't wearing one then it leads me to believe that it could be true.

I went that far back because *I* go that far back.

I know there are pictures of Devin Harris and Derrick Favors in Jazz jerseys on this post, but here they are in the home whites at the Press Conference introducing them to local media. [NOTE: I hate that Optima font]

Is it just me or is Mike Bibby not even wearing Basketball shoes?

Fubus?

They look like the heaviest basketball shoes ever.

Gerald Wallace isn't Gerald Wallace without his headband :(

Seriously, is this the same guy? Unrecognizable

(From somewhere around his rookie year)

Crash gets his headband back.

When the Blazers began shootaround Tuesday morning, they were greeted to a stunning sight: McMillan wearing a headband.

The coach walked over to Wallace and handed it to him, as if to say, ?I don?t care if you wear one.? Wallace wore it during shootaround and is expected to wear it against the Rockets tonight.

Wallace, who has worn a headband throughout his career, did not wear one Sunday night out of respect for McMillan, who banned them when he was hired as coach in Portland. But Wallace said he ?didn?t feel right? without one and he certainly didn't look right in his debut, when he had nine points and five rebounds in a Blazers loss.

Photoshopped, but this is the number Baron will be wearing. I repeat, he WILL be wearing 85.

I do not know why.

Well he doesn't care about anything, so my guess is he just picked a ridiculous number to be funny. As a Cavs fan I wasn't too happy to lose Mo, a guy who loved Cleveland, for Davis. But that Draft pick might turn out to help us...

I got respect for Mo because he never made excuses, handled himself with dignity and class, and always was proud to be in Cleveland. But from a basketball perspective... I was glad to see him go. It just wasn't working.

As for Davis' number... isn't that what Sehmi Erden wears?

Well FS Ohio had Davis' number as 15 when showing the newly aquired players...but Erden wears 86 I think?

According to the NBA.com Cavs roster Davis is #85 and Erdin is #9.

According to this video, Baron will wear #85. He does say that he loves Ochocinco, but he also states that the house where he had his first basketball court was his grandmothers house on 85th street. He says, "the reason I picked 85 was because, for me, it's a rebirth, to get back to my roots... It's a dedication to my grandparents, grandfather for introducing me to basketball."

Wow...so he was born with that beard?!?!?
