But ever since there have been new dress codes set in to place by David Sterner, NBA players are analyzed for their dress codes off the court just as closely as their evaluated for their performance on the court.
The days are well gone of most NBA players just throwing a semi nice sport coat over a dark colored shirt and calling it a day. Now, the NBA players are starting to take a lot more pride in the effort that goes in to the way they are looking off the court and trying to represent their selves in a more fashionable and professional manner. There are many players who have even gotten stylist to help making sure they are always looking in tip top shape for the media.
