The NBA didn’t care much about dress code until Allen Iverson, Paul Pierce and Stephen Jackson came into the league. So in 2005, the year after the “Malice at the Palace“, they put a stop to doo-rags, jeans, jerseys, hats, large jewelry or anything from the hip-hop culture.
However with the new code, it gives fashion designers an opportunity to shine. Russell Westbrook, Dwyane Wade always make a statement during the NBA season arriving at the stadium with eye-catching fashion. NBA star LeBron James has his moments but on Thursday, it may have been his biggest.
The Game 1 suit LeBron James wore was the pre-game highlight. There was a mix reaction to the outfit with the shorts, but we can imagine that this fashion statement cost a nice penny.
