Rep Power: 11  |  NBA Dress Code
T.O. starts new controversy..after wearin a Michael Irving after thier game with the Cowboys..some say in a disrespectfuk way..that got the NBA droppin a new dress code..cant wear other peoples Jerseys n shit..

as I see it their profession is basketball where the dress code is casual anyway...in interviews, pre-game, post game, etc. they are regular people
if thats the case might as well just make rappers wear suits before concerts...i mean really, whats the difference?

If you nice enough to be drafted out HS, you're nice enough for that scholarship. Their careers will be fine, if anything college will make em nastier.
Anyways, fuck dress codes | |

Yeah... it's definitely not racist... more-so business. The NBA is trying to steer as far away from the "Thug" image, perpetuated by A.I. and The Brawl At The Palace...
But it's ironic... look at who buys more NBA apparel than anybody... Young white males...
and I highly doubt Lil' Sebastian Groverton Hellingsworth The Third, is going to get a police record anytime soon.
Also, just like how Pepsi dropped Ludacris due to Bill O'Reilly's faggot ass trashing him... The NBA is in grave danger of losing sponsors. Imagine Artest finishing an interview laced with expletives... and a sign comes up saying "Brought to you by Geico!" Shit won't work, and the "suits" in the offices won't stand for it. If I were an NBA player though I'd wear one of those paste-on tuxedo's from Revenge Of The Nerds... like Fuck yo rules nigga.

its not "gangsterized"..w/e the fuck that is
they wear clothes like that because thats who they are..i think the NBA is taking away from thier personalities..your not gonna see Steve Nash wear a throwback because thats not who he is..not his preference in clothing..but when A.I. wears a jersey or white tee its because thats how he grew up..maybe not racial but prejudice..hell yea

Dress code- good
why:
because these men are role models to more than a million kids in this world...they don't need to be all thugged out while playing basketball...get out there and do what u get payed for...play basketball

But they ARE role models. Nobody gets paid to be a role model.. but since they are now they must present themselves in such a way so they are good role models. The NBA is a buisness. So why wouldnt everyone in the buisness dress buisness-like? | |

Either Way It Aint State Fair
You Go On The Court?? Then You Will Wear The Jump Suit Or A Sweater With Your Team On It, Not Some Other Guy, Or Team,
When You're On The Bench There Is No Need For Gold Chains Yata Yata BaseBall Caps, What Ever, You Need To Put On That Same Jump Suit As The Rest Of The Team
It Aint A Circus Of Colours You Know? Its A Sport, With Rules, Not An Evenin Of Going Out
But When The Game Is Over, N EveryBody Goes Home, For A Drink, Interview What Ever
They Should Be Able To Dress The Ways They Want
Jerseys, Sneakers, Caps, Chains, Ice What Ever They Think Is Makin Them Better....
I Never Saw MJ Wear Gold Chains Or What Ever, I Saw Him Wearing Suits All Day
It Aint A Fashion Show You Know.... It Doesnt Influence Your Game..
So I Can See Why They Made A Dress Code....
Like I Said, On The Court, Everybody Is A Team, EveryBody Gots The same Gear, Same Towels, Same Fuckin Drinkin Cups.
