The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[osh kosh bosh]

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 during a match then later watching NBA coaches on the sideline in their gym teacher/personal trainer get ups in disgust is killing me

pure disgust.

we have to back to this;

That’s exactly why I’m not outside like that in a suit during the summer. Indoors is fine, though

Never in all my time of watching basketball did I ever think "Damn, I would really be enjoying this game more if Greg Popovich was wearing his best Men's Warehouse fit right now"

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

 

[storm2006]

What about sneakers and suits all the tv studio guys are doing now?

acceptable. sneakers and suits have genera become more culturally acceptable.

I feel it address the issue of comfort that I mentioned earlier but as a look?

That’s just me personally but I don’t wear sneakers outside of the gym anyway so my opinion may not be valid on the matter.

I feel like it’s a hit or miss look on most people. Some look clean but others not so much in large part because of the incongruity between the silhouette of the sneaker and their tailoring.

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.

Very true.

This country as a whole does suits terribly.

I think skinny pants + too big coat + sneakers look bad especially if you got big feet.

looks super goofy.

Ok fair enough

If the NBA gets Popovich to wear starched denim overalls during games, in 2023, that would definitely increase my enjoyment of the game.

Still don't care about suits, gotta be da denim

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Trying to insert respectability politics into sports is what makes it a MAGA take. But you got it man. I had to wear a suit every day for five years. Wearing a suit sucks. I wouldn't force it on anyone.

Does your suit even matter if you aren't wearing Chelsea Boots?

Criminal. Agree 100%.

 

[Based Jesus]

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

 

[ballinsam23]

Hardaway got a point.

 

[rolaholic]

He's gonna have to get out of Dallas if he wants to play with that archetype

Weddings and funerals.

That's it.

Oh hell naw...

We are not entertaining these abominations today

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Honestly- I’m happy someone indirectly related to the org said it. Challenge him and hold him accountable

 

[Mark Antony]

Nah. When I worked in the office or hospital, no one monitors anything. People took 1.5 hour lunches, walked around all day, went to the gym mid shift. You could get away with a lot.

Ahh gotcha, didn't realize they monitored because you were remote. That's weird.

 

[shotsrangout]

Put a suit on at least 2-3 days a week.

I don’t want to see you in shorts or sweatpants.

Love me a man in some grey sweatpants

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Love me a man in some grey sweatpants

Osh and shots kind of day

 

[osh kosh bosh]

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

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

Someone had to say the silent part outloud.

But Sr. ain't saying anything if he don't know Jr's on his way out the door.

Offseason gonna be a bloodbath.

 

[ballinsam23]

Rodney Hood would find a way to mess up that fit.
