I Thought the Miami Heat have a strict No Headband Policy/Rule?

**RUCKER** · 10-10-2010, 01:13 AM

So why the hell is LeBron running around playing games still wearing his headband? Does he not have respect for Miami and their rules?

That's a direct slap in the face to Pat Riley, it shows blatant disrespect and total disregard for his rules. Who cares if it's LeBron James? Rules are rules. What makes him so much better than anyone else?

Eddie House is on his team, and he's not allowed to wear his headband but LeBron is? What a joke. I really would like some answers as to why LeBron is getting all this special treatment. Besides headbands make the players look like street thugs and drug dealers, and LeBron definitely isn't a thug or a drug dealer. Dude is from the straight burbs.

Nope, not with the Heat.

Like jbot said, JO wore one the past couple of seasons.

And Eddie House is also wearing a headband. He had one on during the 1st game against the Pistons.

I never understood the headband bans that teams put. Sweat in the eyes is no fun.

**KareemCambell** · 10-10-2010, 01:41 AM

so they let house and bron wear them this season?

Why do they have that rule? When i play basketball, my always gets hurt because of my sweat.

If its like the Magic they are allowed to wear headbands as long as they wear them in practice too. The reason is to stop them from wearing them just for a fashion statement.

Lebron doesn't look good without the headband.

He should keep it on.

no homo.

I never knew Riley had a no headband policy. I know Scott Skiles had one and Ben Wallace didn't take too kindly to it.

**TennesseeFan** · 10-10-2010, 02:14 AM

What if its not a fashion statement, but a game superstition thing?

**B-Low** · 10-10-2010, 02:16 AM

LeBron's hairline took Riley out to dinner and had a serious talk about the policy. They agreed that the headbands would be good for team image after all

**TennesseeFan** · 10-10-2010, 02:18 AM

Well I guess, Riley has to let LeBron go if hes not going to follow the rules

Yup, JO was supposedly able to prove he only needed it functionally and not as a fashion statement. I'm guessing LeBron didn't need to do the same thing. A team that bends over a table and hires your buddies isn't a team that's going to quibble over head bands.
