Poor, poor NBA players

You dress like an adult, you tend to act like one. Dress like a punk...
Again, out of all of professional sports, I believe that the NBA has the highest percentage of criminal conduct amongst its players. I mean, they are drafting rookies straight out of high school, for petes' sake! How mature were any of us (guys, that is) when we were 18, 19 years old? And then they get a multi-million dollar contract and all the perks and bennys that go with being a pro sports player and no one to tell them whats right or wrong? What do they think is going to happen? I believe it's the NBA culture specifically and pro-sports generally that is creating these people. Selfish, self-centered little boys with more money than they've ever known, and no sense of restraint or responsibility.

Oy, the kids these days!

Oh, and remind me to let you know I happen to have an opinion on the matter.

I have no problem with the league requiring certain dress during game time (that is for players and for injured players sitting on the benches).

Making requirements about it anywhere else is just stupid, in my opinion.
