anastasiavJerry Crowe and Valli Herman of the LA Times have quite a sense of humor. This Yahoo News Story is about a new dress code for NBA players. Some choice quotes:
Other players declared their opposition on various grounds.
Marcus Camby of the Denver Nuggets, whose contract will pay him nearly $50 million over the next five years, told an interviewer before the code was imposed, "I don't see it happening unless every NBA player is given a stipend to buy clothes."
Iverson, at a party marking the launch of his new Reebok shoe Monday night, suggested that the policy put too much emphasis on appearance.
"I think it's wrong," he told reporters shortly after the dress code was announced. "You shouldn't judge a person from what they wear."
I encourage you to read the whole article. Its ... interesting.
