NBA Dress Code

"The NBA apparently stands for something other than National Basketball Association.

"No Bling Allowed," said Hamilton, who, like many players around the league, expressed his displeasure with Commissioner David Stern's new dress code.

"I don't agree with it," Hamilton said. "You can't dictate how people dress."

Beginning Nov. 1, players will have to wear business casual attire at team and league activities, including when they arrive at and depart from arenas, when they are conducting interviews and when they are making public appearances." - Detroit Free Press

Seems wrong to me.
Why is this a good idea?
