"Who Will Be The First NBA Player To Be Fined For Breaking The New Dress Code?"

2 Nov 2005

ZAPOTE, Costa Rica -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- What will be next? No more McDonald's allowed to be eaten during the NBA regular season? In a move that immediately has created controversy and given basketball-hungry fans and players alike something to go crazy about before the season even starts, NBA commish David Stern has created a "business casual" dress code for all NBA players to be in effect at games and all NBA related functions. Gone are the backwards hats, baggy jeans and, the crowd favorite, gold chains. Players must now wear clothes that Stern feels represent what the NBA is all about. The only problem is that what the NBA is really about is the urban style of cloths, music and jewelry.

The question now is who will be the first NBA player to go against the commish and receive a fine and sure-fire media coverage, by breaking the dress code. You can see it now: Allen Iverson goes to a post-game press conference he comes in with a brand new outfit from a new clothing company and gets a fine for breaking the dress code. Wouldn't that fine be worth millions to the clothing company? Why is this rule even necessary? NBA players are adults and, while many don't necessarily act like it, they nonetheless should not have to be told what to wear. The clothes they wear generate millions of dollars for the clothing companies as well as for the NBA. Is David Stern's next order of business banning rap music from NBA arenas? Stay tuned!!

"I think the new NBA dress code is ridiculous and if I was a player I would break it just to prove a point," said Wagerweb.com CEO Dave Johnson. "Those professional athletes don't need to be told what to wear. If they were wearing tights and makeup that would be one thing, but many of today's NBA stars wear what the culture they come from reflects. Our customers have been wagering a large amount on Philadelphia 76 star Allen Iverson to be the first to break the dress code either by choice or by accident"
