I disagree, mainly because I doubt the outcry that happened as a result of Ron Artest running up into the stands would have been any less had he been wearing a 3 piece suit.
The point is that there's nothing to gain by making guys with questionable character dress formally, except the amount of fine money collected by the league from guys who don't adhere to it. ...
:thinking: Hmm...you've got a damn good point with Artest.
A Burberry suit wouldn't have changed much...
I guess the better question is, dress code aside, how should the NBA promote the kind of mentality that Jordan & Magic had?
It just seemed like the game was the priority back then. :dunno:
I don't know; I'm inclined to quietly excuse myself from this conversation.
h: Pardon my rambling.
