Hahahaha That's funny because when we were in Denver, we were on a losing streak so my vets, Nick Van Excel and Antonio McDyess, came up with the idea of wearing long socks and headbands. So... that's what we did! Then, they stopped doing it after we got out of the funk. But i kept doing it because it made it easier for my mom to recognize me when she was watching on TV! She could just look for the high socks and the headband and knew where I was on the court.
