Boss wants to set a dress code? Fine, obey it or bail. I am forced to wear a uniform everyday and I am an adult. Think I would rather wear shorts and flip flops everyday? Absolutely! Even when not in the uniform I still have to wear slacks and a shirt. Would much rather be in jeans and a T.

Don't feel sorry for these guys

Please explain to me why they should be? Its there job and if your boss deciedes you have to dress different you do it or bye bye.

Cock sucker-ass David Stern w/ another one of his bright ideas. No wonder why the number of NBA viewers and fans has decreased in the last 5 years.

Dude it's BASKETBALL anyway way you look at it. It's a sport for fun and competition. I would understand if they were in a an office environment and it was essential to keep a professional look, but it's not. You should be able to wear whatever the hell you want. When your off the court no one is paying any attention to you anyways, they're watching the fukkin game. It's a fuckin sport. Let's see them try to fire Allen Iverson if he doesn't comply w/ the rules, do you think that would really happen. C'mon now

Role models, huh. Hint if you are looking to NBA for role models there is already something wrong w/ you . Why again should they look more professional? Next thing you know you'll want them to bann swearing and want them to dress-up while playing. They get paid to play. Other than that they can do whatever.

EXACTLY, and every other sport has a dress code so what makes the NBA so special? There not, and many kids look up the NBA players as role models (I do not because im not a basketball fan) You know what is funny is all the people saying that its BS having a dress code are the same ones who pop off in threads about "fuck the police"

EVERY, EVERY, EVERY(did I mention EVERY?)other sport leagues have a professional dress code, I was suprised that the NBA didn't have one...and IMO should've all along. I think it's a great idea. I mean, I had to wear NICE clothes to games in HS and suits in college. I remember I showed up for a game in sweats...guess who didn't play that game?...and I was a starter...Never made that mistake again.

dress code for spoiled ass NBA players

With that said...GO WARRIORS in '05-'06... should be a good season!

---

So once they wear the required uniform they won't be spoiled ass NBA players anymore?

Basketball players have to be professional now? I guess there goes the braids, the long hair cuts, the swearing, the tattoos, the extra long shorts, chewing gum, etc., C'mon man are you serious. What happens if you dont' dress in uniform does it mean you are not a professional basketball player? I dont' get why you guys agree, do you like looking at the nice suits on the sidelines or the players on the court.

So let me get this straight. You're upset because the other sports have a dress code and the NBA doesn't . If your not an NBA fan why does it matter one way or the other? DUDE it's FREAKIN SPORT not a grand ball. I guess theres alot of people who are bitter because they have to wear a uniform, and think "if I have to wear one so should everyone. I guess I'm to used to the Genentech life where we wear what ever we want, and I can promise you that we display a way higher level of professionalism than the NBA displays. SUITS MEAN NOTHING

What I don't get is why you even care if they have a dress code or not. Doesn't effect you. You or any other fan can still wear saggy pants and oversize team jersey or your leather chaps and wife beater.

Just because I can relate to being forced to wear something you don't want to for a stupid reason. Alot of things don't affect us but we all have something to say about them anyways don't we, so whats you point. You obviously cared enough to reply so I guess that puts you in the same boat. I thought this was the general forum where we could post anything we want.
