Rajon Rondo   When ESPN Boston's Chris Forsberg reported on
Tuesday morning that the NBA had made a move to outlaw upside-
down headbands, my initial assumption was that someone was
having a little fun with Chris. He's a smart dude and a great
reporter, but the league can't be that petty, can they?  Boy,
can they. Because there was something missing on Rajon
Rondo's(notes) head Tuesday night as he took to the court
against the Heat. A headband. Not even a right-side-up version.
Because, yes, the NBA has banned upside-down headbands.  How can
you tell it's an upside-down headband? Well, about a decade ago,
when headbands were starting to come back into vogue after a
20-year or so absence, the NBA decided to cash in, and replace
all the team-issued headbands they provided free of charge to
their players, with a version that featured the famous NBA logo
on top of the team colors. And you had to wear the logo'd
version, for fear of a fine. Rasheed Walla
