NBA dress code
One of the bigger news stories in the world of sports this week was the NBA starting a dress code http://cbs.sportsline.com/nba/story/8977030. This will mean that players will have to wear business casual attire when they participate in team or league activities. Now, the first player I have in mind when I heard about this rule is Allen Iverson. I don't think I've ever seen AI wear anything close to resembling proffesional or business casual dress. (Maybe draft day in 1996 was the only time I can remember ever seeing him in a suit) Not sure if AI will make a big fuss over the rule, but the way I see it, it's really only an issue of clothes and I personally don't consider it to be a newsworthy item. Whether AI sucks it up and dresses nicer or dresses in his usual attire and gets fined is is not really a big deal. Just like AI said a few years ago when discussing practice "Practice! we talking about Practice!" I say "Clothes! we talking about clothes!"

i don't think it's that huge a deal what they wear, although i agree that the image of pro basketball needs to change. i much prefer watching college basketball nowadays b/c i get tired of all the hype and glitziness of pro ball. most jobs do have a dress code (unless, say, you work from home) so if the NBA wants to impose a dress code, then that's their prerogative. so...all you NBA players...you may not have to "pay to play" but it looks like you'll have to "dress to play." suck it up.
