Kareem Abdul-Jabar had his stretchy goggles, Bill Laimbeer his clear plastic mask, and Dennis Rodman his endless array of hair colors. Now we have Nikola Jokic's red headband, MattDSchubert writes:
Kareem Abdul-Jabar had his stretchy goggles, Bill Laimbeer his clear plastic mask, and Dennis Rodman his endless array of hair colors .Or maybe we just toss it aside? The Grading the Week staff isn’t sure what to do with it quite yet.If we were to construct a list of NBA superstars least likely to randomly accessorize, the Joker would almost certainly be near the top. This is a man, after all, whose signature style point up until this past week was his unabashed affinity for compression pants .
The Grading the Week staff couldn’t help but giggle, if only because the adornment so obviously went against Jokic’s greater sartorial instincts. The no-look passes that dot Nuggets highlight reels on a nightly basis? Acts of subterfuge meant to confuse. The spinning post moves, behind-the-back dribbles and subtle feints? All methodical movements designed to inch closer to the hoop.
Thus, if you’re going to ask Jokic to do something like, say, throw on a headband in the middle of a must-win game, it better have a legitimate purpose. Thanks to an unlikely turn of events, that happened to be case after Jokic suffered a gash across his right temple early in the game.
