After his second poke in the eye this season, why won’t AD do like players in the ’80s and wear goggles?
November 12, 2024
I'm guessing goggles aren't "cool" anymore, so instead, I'm assuming AD would rather keep getting poked in the eye than wear sports goggles.
But players like James Worthy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wore goggles after being poked in the eye themselves.

Feeling uncomfortable perhaps. The accumulated sweat inside the goggles will be really irritating.
Because it doesn’t look cool and feels weird if you don’t normally wear glasses
I couldnt perform at the highest level with some big goofy goggles on. Not happening.
Maybe he doesn’t like it
I think he said it was disrupting his vision which i can see. Wearing goggles could be annoying for his peripheral vision
Because he’s called “The Brow” and the glasses would block his money makers
He doesnt like how they fog up. Which is a valid complaint tbf, glasses wearers unite
Unless you wear glasses off court, then it’s a huge adjustment both vision and comfort wise. Rip Hamilton’s number one advice to anyone who asks him how to get used to wearing a mask is to have it on as much as possible and never take them off once the game starts.
Go for a run tomorrow with some tight ass goggles on and let us know how you feel.
All the arguments against are bullshit. I’m sure they have goggles with non-fogging technology or some bullshit at this point
Why? From someone who would wear them while playing, they’re uncomfortable as hell and negatively impact my game.
“Why won’t AD wear goggles” is the new “why won’t AD wear high tops”
If he wears goggles he won’t be able to take himself out of games after he gets hit in the face.
At $62M/year, Lakers should get him some functional yet ‘fashionable’ pair of specs.
Even some from the Kurt Rambis style would be great to see.
AD needs a full suit of armor
AD has tried it and said he didn’t like how the goggles fogged up
I mean, that question should apply for every big man or anyone who dives into the paint. And people don’t because it’s not a comfortable gear to wear, and it does mess with your senses a little bit. I’m sure he can get used to it, but I can understand why it’s a last resort
get little windshield wipers for them and you good AD
It’s not “cool”
Never played with no prescription goggles. But my prescription ones in high school were god awful. Depth perception was off, it got foggy, etc. I switched over to contacts so quickly.
They’re don’t look cool
I’ve thought ad should have started wearing goggles last season he seems to always get hit in the eye and exit games he also wore goggles in highschool
So I wear goggles for Bball. Yes it takes a lil to adjust, but if you get clear ones you don’t lose peripheral vision. They never fog up. For the money he makes, for the amount of money Lakers spend… I’m sure they can come together and get him some really nice custom goggles. Protect your damn asset…
Bro needs to have a little chat with Kiké A fucking SAP.
Am I the only one thinks him not wearing a goggle isn’t a problem but maybe the opponents should stop fucking gauging his eyes?
I wish he would wear them.
Come on we gotta be able to make no-fog glasses its 2024…
Why wear goggles and work when you make so much and can sit out as you please?
I bet its because he don’t wanna be looked like a nerd or something new insult bozos will want to call him.
REC SPECS 4EVER
That Reggie Jackson guy wears goggles and I believe scoot does too. I wonder if it fogs up for them or not
I don’t buy the “fogging” excuse.
Goggles can impede your vision to a noticeable degree. It would stop him from getting poked in the eye, but it might also affect his touch or his jumper, which is obviously not worth the trade off.
