I think I'd call them "stockings," perhaps. Reminds me of our baseball discussions about whether the socks pulled up high was hot or not.

Zia, that Kobe/T-Mac picture is hot. I was looking for a nice picture of Tracy smiling, but I'm thinking it's more so something you've got to catch live. He's got a few smiling pictures on Yahoo/Google search, but you can tell they're all fake - when he laughs or smiles at something during a game, it's the best, because it's completely real. He's really funny, too - one time, when he was on the bench, the ball went out of bounds and bounced to him, and he started aiming at the basket from his seat, as if he were going to shoot.
