A lot of athletes have really taken the showing off part a bit extreme when they attend basketball games or at any public NBA related event. It's just like the NBA Ballerz game. It's just better this wayBtw, when you see an injured football player on the sidelines do you see him wearing jerseys with a chain? He is usually wearing a team affiliated Polo Shirt and Jeans with Tennis Shoes. Try and sweatsuit with a hoodie on Even the coaches wear that shit. They wear hats and stuff....A far cry from "Business Attire"

Quote from: E. J. Rizo on October 20, 2005, 12:41:02 PMwe have a dress code at my work whats the big dealdo you have to wear those clothes on the way to work also? Thats the big deal. Like i said...its fine to ask them to dress in a suit when they are on the bench and not playing. But to say they have to wear certain clothes from the arena to the bus...thats just stupid. Another thing, why are people so hung up on how much money these guys make? how does that have ANYthing to do with it? If you guys are THAT jealous of the money they make...get talented at something that will earn you a lot of money. Just because they make way more money then the average person...doesnt mean they should have to bow down to whatever the league says to do. Thats ridiculous...and none of you would either. What if the league decides to tell them what kind of cars they are allowed to buy....or what kind of music is allowed? The amount of money these guys make...is NOTHING compared to the amount of money they generate for the league, or else there would be NO league. This is just some bullshit power trip and shows that David Stern doesnt identify one bit with the people who work for him. You pick a specific culture to attack...and that happens to be the culture that represents like 80% of your league.Btw...as much as you guys are hung up on these guys salaries. I dont recall anything mandating that the owners, who make far more then any teams entire payroll, wear specific clothes. Cuban will still be able to dress in his normal t-shirt and jeans and run around on the court like an idiot.
What I dont get it....Whats wrong with dressing up? there ain't nothing wrong with dressing nice, thats good man, makes it look for professional, and the NBA is supposed to be professional right?...If i got paid millions, i'd be wearing suits and nice clothes with the money I make so its okplus with the new dress code, looks better than players dressing up ghetto lol

That's what they're used to, they're not trying to change who they are but the NBA is. And the players don't have a problem with dressing up nice but making them wear suits on the plane ride, when they enter the arena, when they're injured and on the bench, during interviews. Plus they are telling them what to wear. Most players said they were fine with banning a couple of the things like doo rags, hats, and throwback jerseys.
What does Cuban do? He doesnt seem bright to me

And Stern has been acting like an idiot the last year, suspending Artest for the whole year when everyone said it should have been around 50 games, banning CD/MP3 players while warming up, and now a dress code.
