 CHICAGO (AP) - When the NBA unveiled its new dress code, there was so much whining and opining you'd have thought David Stern wanted to bring back short shorts. Or make players wear plaid in an oh-so-attractive polyester blend.
Judging by what we've seen this first week, the new edict is about as restrictive as lint. Stern may have come off looking like the fun police, but he's not requiring anything different than what virtually every other employer does. Less, actually. Guys don't have to be buttoned down in a three-piece suit and tie. They can still wear jeans and be so hip it hurts.
And if a jacket and dress shoes can help win back fans turned off by some of the off-court shenanigans, what's so awful about that?
