stern is a racist ass cracka for that dress code change...

[aRoMaN21]

You cant compare a troll reporter going in the locker room doing an interview, to a press released interview on networks and in paper.
Mass media is different than underground troll media, hence the Dress Code.

Now all these nikkas dressin like soft hipsters...he didn't like the "thug image" the nba had...go to hell in a handbasket bytch azz stern.

So nikkas in corporate America dress like soft hipsters?

Stick to flipping burgers with your du rag, dikkies suit, and timbo boots bytch

hell if i was in the NBA i'd wear a suit even if it wasn't the rule just to stunt on muafukkas

this.

They need to ban eye glasses.

did it ever occur to you that some of these players actually need glasses

 

[50CentStan]

I think that a$$hole stern didnt want the "thug" image at first. I think its cool though, atleast in this day and age, imagine Dwayne Wade showing up in some Electric Blue Skinny jeans, and a skin tight v neck that exposes his belly button. and some vans.

I think he's talking about those huge hipster glasses.

You must not be paying close attention to the picture and guys weren't dressing much different than Jason Williams going to games either. As has been stated repeatedly in this thread, every guy in the league makes six figures and a lot of them were dressing like they were still 14.

Almost nobody besides construction workers could dress how they were and keep their jobs (making MUCH less). They do not have a hard life. It doesn't hurt them at all to dress like adults/professionals.

What am I missing in the picture? They're standing in some lobby, how would the dress code affect that?


And miss me with that professional bullshyt....professional basketball players wear jerseys, shorts, and sneakers. These guys are entertainers, no one gives a fukk what an actor wears to/fro a studio, nor a singer as they arrive or leave a venue, stop acting like there's some social expectation for their dress.

The dress code was good for the league straight up. Its good for the youngin's comin up to see professional black males in suits

Players went to games looking like that too. Worse, actually.

In the real world, where people have real jobs, there IS an expectation to dress accordingly.

I ain't gon lie tho that early 2000s to the throwbacks was always my favorite era of fashion

Playing in the NBA is not a "real" job (and most of those offended by their dress, ironically, are the same ones who'd be quick to point out that they're "paid to play a game" )...get over it. They do dress according to their profession....they wear jerseys, shorts, and sneakers. Prior to the dress code, most wore sweats and shyt to games anyways, that is far more appropriate dress for an athlete than a fukking suit and tie.

And show me one pic/vid of a player arriving to games with a "ho depot" t-shirt, cuz that's the only thing offensive about what they're wearing...a white tee ain't bothering anyone.

[the next guy]

I noticed how every single post since the dude posted the NHL dress code that was in effect long before there was one in the NBA has been ignored.

Too easy to just think Stern is a CAC trying to hold the black man down, when in reality he was trying to catch up with what the other professional sports leagues do.

LOL@ the thread starter talking about players in other sports doing interviews in their towels but not being allowed in the NBA.
