Joakim forced to change outfits during game

[MadduxFanII]

So, Joakim Noah is currently out nursing an injury. He was on the bench yesterday when a team official let him know that the league was dissatisfied with his outfit and wanted him to change into something more formal.

What was Jo wearing? Well, you can see it here, but Joakim was wearing a blazer, a cardigan and jeans.

Yes, somehow Joakim managed to inadvertently turn a freaking cardigan into a middle finger to the man.

In other news, the NBA really needs something better to do with its time.

I didn't know the NBA had fashion police.

Are you shit*in me? Find something more constructive to do with your time NBA league officials

Herr Stern has spoken.

This is why I love Jo so much. He handles being in the NBA the same way I would - not being an a$$ but at the same time recognizing and laughing at the fundamental absurdity of it all...

[austingtr]

That is ridiculous. Jo showing his class.

[GatorRade]

I actually really like what he was wearing, but it's their league.

[vaxcardinal]

he should show up to the next game in a Tuxedo...a bright colored one.

Actually the NBA is no different than other big businesses and many small businesses regarding their brand. Like it or not, the players surely have agreed to contract language regarding representing the NBA.
