…but success, it never comes. The former UMass star speaks out against the NBA’s new dress code, as quoted by the Rocky Mountain Press’ Chris Tomasson.
“I don’t see it happening unless every NBA player is given a stipend to buy clothes,” Nuggets center Marcus Camby said. “Guys who haven’t been wearing suits and don’t own suits, it will be really hard to get them in time for the season (needing to be specially made for tall players).
“It’s tough if you have to dress up when you make an appearance. When you go to a basketball clinic and teach something, it’s not going to make sense. And being dressed up on the plane, sometimes you have long back-to-back trips and you want to be loose and comfortable. I don’t see it happening.”
And of course, what could be more comfortable than a size XXL OJ Simpson t-shirt?
Oh, the Pavement references! We love them so.
TH
They should get a stipend…what does Camby make? eight thou a year? oh,,wait, that’s 8 MILLION a year
I asume he was joking
Marcus’ great sense of humor was exemplified by the OJ shirt, I think.
if the white stripes road crew can be comfortable in suits from the time doors open until the audience has left the building Camby can suck it up. oh…the white stripes did buy the suits for the crew though so maybe Marcus is on to something there.
A stipend to buy a couple suits? This guy’s a nutcase. He sounds like a spoiled brat. Business casual doesn’t necessarily equal a suit as outlined in the dress code.
