NBA Dress Code
Juronimo:
What's wrong with wanting to present yourself in the best way possible? If I was in the player's position, I would definitely dress nice on the sidelines. Remember how Michael Jordan dressed? Ballplayers used to always dress nice on the sidelines, it's only been the last couple of years where things have gotten out of hand.
I have no problem with what Stern is doing.

Once again, the players don't have a problem when they're on the bench. But he is forcing them to dress like that on the plane ride, when they arrive to the arena, after the game, during interviews. Who the hell wants to be dressed up on the plane ride, they usually travel at night and most players catch some sleep during that plane ride.

If I play for the Knicks, I can wear Knicks pants and sweater. I can get a good rest wearing stuff like that

why do people keep saying "if i were a player i would want to wear a suit"? Who cares? this isnt a question of style choices. its a question of allowing your players to be individuals. the other major sports dont do this...do they have an image problem in their fans eyes? No. And neither does the NBA. Some of you guys are having a hard time thinking deeper then just "i like suits...so they should too". Its just David Stern imposing HIS style on the players. Like i said...a dress code on the bench makes sense, thats fine. But why take it to the point of telling players what to wear walking to the bus? Or on the plane? Like i said, its been obvious for a long time that David Stern doesnt like the hip hop culture being intertwined with the NBA...but it is, and he should deal with it. Its not a league full of 50 year old white guys...its a league of 20 year old black guys. Trauma, you cant speak on this....youre a 50 year old white guy lol. Yeah, this is a business...but more importantly, its a game. Fans are more impressed with players who look like they are having fun...and love what they are doing then they are with a player that looks like a businessman.
