"They're tights, man"
KG reacts to reports that the league is going to ban players from wearing tights ala Kobe next season:"For players, it's more [therapeutic]," Garnett said after the morning shootaround. "Our legs swell when we fly. We have so much swelling of the joints and stuff. When you have elbows with bursitis going on, swelling of the knees ... you need those tights. "
"So I don't understand what's the real problem. That's the way guys are able to stay loose, be mobile, stay agile for 48 minutes. I don't know what the beef is. It's getting ridiculous."
"They're tights, man," Garnett said. "People don't understand how hard it is to prepare for a game, not just mentally but physically. Getting your body to go."
Eddie Griffin was reaching for his cell when he hit a parked car on Wednesday morning. After he and the owner of the car exchanged info, the cops drove Griffin home.
"They weren't really worried about it," Griffin said. "They just took me home."
While cited for not having a valid license, Griffin escaped with no court dates or team penalties resulting from the accident.
