Literally can't remember the last time I wore a tie. I like suits, but I can't do ties.

When Timberlake and Hov came out with their classic, it didn't change your mind on the tie game?

Always a tie. Ties and socks are the one piece of individuality for this crap.

No but I got accused of it once. Back in like 2012 I started wearing suits and business casual clothes with sneakers regularly and someone stops me one day to accuse me of stealing the idea from Jay-Z...meanwhile I really got the idea from Jason Sudeikis.

Figured if he could pull it off as a middle-aged white guy, I'd look better

Robert Williams will make a difference but this Embiid is different.

maybe. we'll see in the playoffs. Giannis last year was even unsure of what to do when TimeLord was in there. he wasn't forcing as much like when he was matched up with Horford.

 

[sneeker]

Nah. it has nothing to do with that.

Nah. it has nothing to do with that.

Uh, yeah I know it was just an add on to his podcast quotes

Remember when Lebron had the whole squad outfitted in Thom Browne?

Can't believe Bron was on that MAGA respectability politics.

Clarkson the definition of a my player Barbie

@osh kosh bosh also cant compare us to Europe

European style is often imitated by the US years later. When it comes to suits and arguably style in general, Europe will always have that on lock.

Suits for sure. Fashion is literally being driven out of a repackaging of street wear/hip hop culture from the US, though

clearly you never seen Larry Brown in the 70's.

Larry got the Lebron James of bowties in that second pic

 

[pums]

Dressing well and apporpriately is good manners and shows personality and idividuality .

NBA Coaches probably dont care anout that and would rather not have the hassle of bringing a couple suits on a road trip.

while we’re on the topic, Silver might as well make players wear suits and dress shoes while playing. it would add to the pageantry and challenge of hoop

imagine getting put thru the rim by a dude dressed in his best steve harveys. peak athletes only

 

[Based Jesus]

Imagine Bron's first dunk happening in his draft suit
Replay aint nothing but flowing white fabric

 

[N41D]

There's gonna be like 7 of the top 50 scorers in the NBA not reach the 65-game threshold this season.

The hell is Draymond going on about? "Bums"

 

[Mister Meaner]

Did they say TMac had to borrow Shaq’s trousers or was that the running joke

I’ll occasionally send this to my dude who idolizes him and throw more salt in the wounds.

Imagine Bron's first dunk happening in his draft suit

imagine the ratings if Bron had a chase down block while wearing this fit with the accoutrements

Hip hop culture is a huge influence. Thought we get a lot of it from Canada and London though more recently.

I knew this is where this was heading

Soccer coaches go all out with the menswear and 90% look sharp as hell so the thought of you watching them on the touchline getting fits off during a match then later watching NBA coaches on the sideline in their gym teacher/personal trainer get ups in disgust is killing me

to be fair...there's a difference between American and European/ Asian/ Middle Easter fashion sense.

 

[Blue Mamba]

Then don’t be a bum and play. Simple as that

You ever asked for a raise? More time off? More resources to get your job done? If you're asking for stuff you don't have, they know what time it is.

If you're not asking for that kinda stuff ever, why not? I'm in an industry and a point in my career where I could leave at any time and probably make way more money for a bigger title, but I place a higher value on other things given my wife's health situation.

I'm not out here constantly pushing the "give me more or I'm out" button, but I've definitely spent enough time investing in relationships with my direct manager and the two levels above her that I can have candid conversations about what I want and not have to beat around the bush.

Oh for sure i ask for all that, i guess i just skip that step. If they cant work with me or find some sort of compromise and i have other options most times the next time we meet will be me giving them two weeks notice. Im not married though or have kids so i see where your coming from. Harder to just up and leave when you have a family or trying to start one
