Guys is supposed to be able to be original and dress like how they want to dress. The NBA can't dress no grown man.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You see a whole bunch of different looks in the NBA. Guys, like LeBron, have stylists now, and they do their own thing. Then you have Russell Westbrook, whose style is a little different. Every guy is wearing outfits to show their personality.
With the NBA's dress code, I had to revamp my wardrobe a little bit. They call it 'business casual.' You have to wear dress jeans or dress slacks, with a collared shirt or sweater. And you can't wear athletic shoes.
The way I dress, I dress totally different than I did when I was in college. I have to - try to - look professional. You change a lot when you are in the NBA, but I know where I came from.
The thing about the NBA, any pro sport, is, guys don't know how to take care of their body.
But I think the image that's thrown out on television is a bad image. Because you see players who want to imitate hip-hop stars. And the NBA is taking advantage of the situation.
A lot of guys go into the NBA not being able to shoot the ball well, but then they become great shooters.
The NBA's a Fortune 500 company. That's how you look at it. And all the other Fortune 500 companies out there in the world, you don't see their CEOs and COOs going to work with white tees and baggy clothes and stuff like that. So I have to take that same approach.
Because of the makeup of the NBA, it cannot afford for the public to turn on them.
I'm impressed with how the NBA, as a whole, is dressing so well. Guys are being very creative and having fun with it.
When the NBA adopted their uniform that they had to wear, I thought that was very interesting. And you see the way NBA players dress: It's very cool.
