This 100%. I would love to go back to the free flowing atmosphere of the 90's, but the way we dog these guys out is insane. We keep them under a microscope.

Not to mention that people view things a lot differently as young children/teenagers, versus being a cynical adult of today. Of course players seemed "larger" than life as a kid.

it doesn't take a lot of money to dress like that in the second pics. kd wore hoody and sweats every single day at UT. it's not just money that changes these dudes. their circle changes and I think a lot of them just become followers of trends.

the funny thing is these dudes (john wall aint too bad) aint even as stylish as they think they are.

people with real fashion sense laugh at these dudes who just wear flamboyant expensive clothing for the sake of standing out.

Style and fashion are all in the eyes of the beholder. I'm sure some people would laugh at the dudes you say are the real fashionistas too.

No hate. I think a lot of those pics are goofy and flamboyant too, but I also think people should dress how they want to dress and express themselves as they see fit. I don't think anything is "real fashion" or "real stylish". Just a bunch of a different styles that different people gravitate towards.

:rudy: shut the fukk up you dont know shyt. Anbody who wears that shyt he was wearin in those pictures is corny as fukk i regardless of what it costs. You can get nice, expensive clothes without dressin like a fakkit. You really think if they put him in a room with a bunch of clothes and reversed the price tags that any of these dudes would pick to wear any of this gays ass shyt? fukk no they wouldnt and thats why people think these dudes are corny.

But I guess its hard for a lame to understand what makes somebody a lame so :manny:
I didn't say he wasn't corny. I'm saying he might just be being himself. That's the argument.

Being a multi millionaire and dressing like you came outta Dr. Jays with 4XL everything is corny and lame too. For every person that thinks he's a lame, someone else is styling him up saying his gear is crazy.
