One Vote Against High Socks

by Jim Weeks on Aug 28, 2007 2:32 PM EDT in Green Bandwagon

In my last post I wondered if high socks were cool. Ultimately, even after acknowledging my strong bias against them, I begrudgingly accepted that all NBA players are cooler than me and by extension then high socks are cool. I even went as far to say,

"Now I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Posey is cooler than me. Everyone in the NBA is, Brian Scalabrine included. Well everyone but Damon Jones. He tries way too hard."

Well earlier today I was on YouTube and I came across the following clip:

The plot thickens. Regardless of what I said about Sclabrine, that has to hurt the high socks movement. I don't care that he went to USC and probably did pretty well there. And I'm not talking about academics or basketball. I think this calls for an exhaustive study of which players wear high socks and by default who does not. For the time being I will lay low. However, you can expect sporadic updates during the regular season. That's it for now.

That play is more athletic and probably better than any play I have seen him make in two years here. Maybe Garnett will change all of that. Any chance of adding James White ( I know you secretly want it to happen) or Oakley. I wanted Rafer until his Bassy-like experience the other day.

James White

I just hope White lands somewhere bad so he can get some playing time and get into the dunk contest. I don't see him in Boston. Although that would be awesome. Who would you rather have, Manuel or White? White would be awesome in pre season games and garbage time. As far as Alston goes. I think he could have gotten away with either the parking attendant assault or the night club fight. But both seems to be pushing it. And allegedly he is not the most positive individual to have in the locker room. Although Alston and White could challenge Kemp and Payton for ally oop ridiculousness.
