What about casual Friday?

This is going to be quick. I just wanted to put my two cents in on the NBA’s new dress code. I’m continually amused by the 5% of the players that are publicly bitching about this. Let’s face it, guys like Iverson just won’t abide and they’ll just pay a weekly fine. That’s what it’s going to come down to.

I think that this is going to cause more entertainment than anything else. Ron Artest has already said he’s going to breaking out suits that would make Harry and Lloyd proud (he’s even promised velvet and suede) and Captain Cool himself, Greg Ostertag, said that he doesn’t even own a sport coat so he’s going to buy one off of a guy on the street. You know that he’s going to be sporting some sweet plaid jackets this season.

And one last thing, Marcus Camby should be roundhouse kicked in the face for saying that players should get a clothing stipend to buy suits to fit the dress code. Isn’t the league minimum over $400,000? I’m pretty sure that everyone can afford a decent suit. I know that NBA assistants don’t make that much, but they seem to be doing all right.
