While standing still and during most movement, it looks like he has on full-length tights even though he doesn't. If you watched a game with a player wearing something like Wade, what rule would you be able to tell him/her they failed to enforce?
Personally, I'd tell the official that they let Wade wear illegal compression shorts.

I understand what you're saying, Tom. You're saying that Wade wore illegal compression shorts, but you think that they're legal. Well, you're wrong above, rules-wise, Tom, when you said that Wade did not break any of the rules noted in the other posts. KajunRef cited the FED rule and the NCAA rule is fairly similar(below the pants is illegal). Iow, what Wade wore, as per your post above, is illegal under NFHS and NCAA rules. I could care less about NBA rules. Compression shorts that do not come above the knee are illegal. Compression shorts have to come above the knee to be legal.
