Of all the explanations I was thinking about this is ridiculous. I only hope that once the NBA succeeds in Stepford wifing the league they can move on to less pressing matters like improving the quality of the games and the officiating.

He’s not going to have it on. He used to wear it upside-down, as a real connoisseur would know and I’m sure you noticed, he had an upside-down logo, turning the NBA upside-down. And they won’t let him do it anymore. They said they were going to fine him for that. So he said, ‘To heck with you, I’m not going to fine it at all.’ That’s the Rondo headband situation for you connoisseurs of men’s accessories.

Wow NBA!   

How bout you worry about getting your officiating straightened up and getting a new CBA then matters like this and Van Gundy not being able to wear his turtle necks.

That is just ridiculous. "Turning the NBA upside down"?! What about those NBA logo socks that the players fold? Isn't that turning the nba upside down too? Or those wristbands, when a player raises his hands to defend, those logos turn upside down too right? They might as well take away the team logos on the floor and say it's wrong to step on the NBA teams.

It sure looked weird, didn't it?

Typical Rondo attitude, "if I can't wear it upside down, I won't wear it"!

The thing is, it has a function...

I just heard on the radio that Rondo wore his headband upside down because it has a Laker for the logo.  ****!  Rondo, a Celtic all the way! ;D

Every fan attending all Celtics games this years should sport an authentic NBA head band with the [dang] logo upside down.  They can't fine us .... or can they?  (cue Twilight Zone music)

How utterly absurd.
