No the dress code was about looking like professionals, not looking like extras at an And 1 game. The NBA players brought the style into the dress code yet you nikkaz still find a reason to complain

Y'all dudes are really trying to hold onto this "professional" lie when we know damn well what the case is
Is this professional, then?
Would you walk into an office building for a professional job dressed like this?
What if your doctor or your financial advisor waltzed in dressed like this?
It was never about profesionalism, breh, stop it. Athletes are pro-athletes, not hedge fund managers. They are tatted up millionaires who play ball. I can see saying no sagging, but to say "this is too baggy" and not, "this is too tight" or, "this is too loud and outrageous" is hypocritical bs
Athletes wearing sportswear coming to play a sport should have never been a problem and a dress code is silly and we know that it was meant to target certain players and alienate certain demographics in favor of another.
Those athletes and fans had their own style, too, so why was it a problem when they were wearing jerseys and fitteds opposed to now?

yup
ain't sh*t professional about the dress code
if youre gonna let dudes have tats all over their face/neck and have stupid ass hairstyles then there is no point in a dress code
Yeah he's dressin' even worse now. This dude couldn't even wear a decent suit to his own number retirement ceremony in Philly

Man these nikkas is really asleep when it comes to this shyt. It's like the statements of the hawks owner taught these nikkas nothing. Dude literally said the kissing cam was too black and it bothered the white customers. The image they were trying to portray was to make white people feel comfortable. It's why you go to certain bars/clubs in certain cities they'll ban the clothing style of black people, let a cac in wearing the exact same outfit, and turn your black ass away because your 3 piece suit is too baggy.

A tight shirt, tight jeans, glasses, nice hat and an oversized jacket cause it's fukking coldYeah he's dressin' even worse now. This dude couldn't even wear a decent suit to his own number retirement ceremony in Philly
And that's worse?? Up all the pics of ballers wearing full on suits to their number ceremonies
Like I said before. If this was truly about professionalism, the NBA would have the simplest dress code ever.....
"Wear a suit"
But that's not the code. The code never actually says what to wear. Just says business casual.
But it does go into deep details of what not to wear. You tell me who it targeted
- 3. Excluded Items
The following is a list of items that players are not allowed to wear at any time while on team or league business:
- Sleeveless shirts
- Shorts
- T-shirts, jerseys, or sports apparel (unless appropriate for the event (e.g., a basketball clinic), team-identified, and approved by the team)
- Headgear of any kind while a player is sitting on the bench or in the stands at a game, during media interviews, or during a team or league event or appearance (unless appropriate for the event or appearance, team-identified, and approved by the team)
- Chains, pendants, or medallions worn over the player's clothes
- Sunglasses while indoors
- Headphones (other than on the team bus or plane, or in the team locker room)

"Nah you got sneakers on"
White boy walks in with a tee, jeans and some vans
"What about him"
"Those are skate shoes"

That's how dudes dressed in Iversons time. And fukk you / eat a dikk if you're disrespecting AI for being himself...........but hyping up wanna be fakkits when they aren't being themselves.
They aren't being different. They are trying to fit in.
I don't like the saggy look.
But they TAKE IT WAY too far with trying to look like a metro sexual bi-curious gloryhole fakkit.
We don't need fakkit looking men representing what most of our young boys are seeing. Just because you'resome pseudo-jew CAC because he Told his slaves they can't wear what they want to wear............"Please emulate mainstream society more my lil ******s"
Some of our young men don't even have male role models and We want to promote them looking up to men who ----worked their entire life to become a pro ball players only to Dress like they are professional ball suckers?

The dress code was, key word, was about professionalism. The dress code is much more relaxed now than it was when it was first instituted. But if you're a short sighted dude you don't see the bigger picture was about cleaning up the league's image & raising the profile of the league's stars. Probably one of the best moves Stern did as commissioner was to put it into place...I'm glad the current generation of players have embraced it & put their own look onto it.
