I bet you would be fairly perturbed/amused if the President of the United States decided to give his inauguration speech in shorts and sandals.

Like you said, image is a PERCEPTION of character. Not necessarily of their true character. Sure, true character plays into it, especially when true character is known. But by making players wear suits, the NBA is trying to improve their image i.e. the public's perception of the players' characters, not necessarily their true characters.
