Cuban doesn't say whether HE will abide by a dress code, however.
This thread is a vacuum. It keeps sucking me in.
Looks like Stern's really opened Pandora's box.
Cuban doesn't say whether HE will abide by a dress code, however.
He's already gone on record saying that he absolutely would not.
There's a word for people like that.
He's against the dress code even for the players but they have to comply now. Did you read the blog?
The office is certainly open to visitors, including our clients.
They should be thankful as should the owners. As well as the commissioner. I am sure they are all thankful. They are doing what they love and get paid lots of jack for it.
The owners should have a dress code as well. Even more so. I am not against that.
Congratulations. As far as I know, you're the first person in a million posts on this subject to actually step up and say that.
I disagree with you, but you're at least being fair and consistent.
That's fine. That's what makes this so interesting. Hearing everyone's point of view.
Exactly! That's what I've thought all along. This isn't the 50s anymore; are people really still hung up on the idea that the clothes make the man? I have a feeling the people Stern is trying to impress (middle America, white America, whatever) don't watch basketball and aren't going to start watching it just because Ray Allen is always color-coordinated and wears Armani.
then I assume you work somewhere where that attire is acceptable,somewhere near the beach??or at Schlitterbaun??? or near a pool?? or in a hot wearhouse??
For sure you're not a public role model.(doctor,accountant,nurse,teacher,principal,c ity mayor,).
Let us not forget the words many of these millionaire NBA stars have said again and again 'the NBA is not only a game but also business' ..when it comes to contracts all they say is "business,business". Okay,so now Stern says dress up for business boys and they cry???
He has his MBA and works in a firm related to finance. Great assumptions thoughthen I assume you work somewhere where that attire is acceptable,somewhere near the beach??or at Schlitterbaun??? or near a pool?? or in a hot wearhouse??

Actually I work in a Class A office building and have a gorgeous view of the surrounding area.
So I couldn't possibly have a white collar job?
My doctor is a fat, white-haired man with coke-bottle glasses who wears jeans, cowboy boots and plaid shirts to the office. Best doctor I've ever had. I love that he's responsive to my phone calls and really friendly and got me pregnant within 2 months. (That sounds wrong, doesn't it?) Who gives a crap what he wears to his office?
I hadn't thought about that. That's gonna suck if suddenly everyone's attention is on how the players dress or who isn't complying, instead of focusing on the game going on.How many cameras are going to be pointed to the bench area and not the floor when regular season games start ? how many plays are going to be missed in game as commentary goes on about what a player is wearing. And then as players get hurt durnig the year, every time its the first time out of uniform for a player, there is going to be a fashion watch.
Think it will be over by April ? Not a chance. Some reporter will be there with this question “A.I. , I know its April and the playoffs start in 2 weeks, but this is your first trip to our fair city. What do you think about the dress code”. Lets all hope that A.I. gives us a “Dress Code…. Dress Code.. its the playoffs around the corner and all you can talk about is a Dress Code ..” Hurt ‘em Answer.

My husband wears scrubs all the time (usually with a lab coat, though) from different hospitals that he has privilages and tennis shoes. The only time he is dressier is if it's cold out or he has to give a presentation.
V-Bookie on who will become the Joan Rivers of the NBA = )
Your husband is obviously a ty doctor.
Has this been addressed? I haven't seen anything but I may have missed it. I would imagine some fines would be assessed but will that be an effective deterrent?
Discuss.
I really don't care how marcus dresses. I have friends with MBA's that are bankrupt and I also saw them in blue jeans and t-shirts at their business butHe has his MBA and works in a firm related to finance. Great assumptions though
I also know none-college business owners that earn hundreds of thousands
that dress well in slacks,polished shoes,and pressed shirts to the office.
I also know a doctor that goes to work in blue jeans and boots while he delivers babys. (only in Texas!)
I think that they'll be some league reps making sure that players are in compliance. Though there's no official word, I think they would get a warning and then later fines. And unless the fines are huge, none of the players who make average NBA salary are going to care.
I can see that they can easily check on the players on the bench and at other media events, but I don't see how they will monitor what players are wearing to and from their cars into the arena. Most arenas have underground parking for their players and they can easily drape off the tunnels so that no one can see them walking from their cars to the locker room.
Add to all these, I am not okay with neither with a baggy dressed AI nor a well dressed Shaq or KMart ting bleepers out of their mouths during interviews.
As much good as Stern has done for the NBA, he seems to be taking his autocratic powers to the limit and we all know it's not gonna last long.
Less interested in the dress code and wish our team would focus on winning a game (yeah, I know, preseason).
Stern didn't do this without the owners or players permission.
Way to set the example for your son Tim. This game puts at least seventeen million dollars a year in your pocket, God forbid you should have to dress like a professional....
