The NBA had an image problem. That's why David Stern implemented a dress code.

The image of the NBA had become too thuggish, and it was turning a lot of people off.


That is quite true. It peaked with the Malice at the Palace.

Been remarkable to see the culture shift in the past decade plus. Now it's more of a hipster league, one could say.

Was this shift before well dressed "hipsters" like Gilbert Arenas & Crittendon pulled guns on one another in a locker room & Crittendon ( true thug) eventually got hard time for murder?


The Spurs participating in the 2 lowest rated NBA finals in history had nothing to do with Duncan ,Ginobli or Parker being "thugs" or their " bad image".
