NBA Props: Who’s Gonna Suffer For Their Bling?

s21.jpgThe mandatory NBA dress code being put in place on Nov. 1st has many players miffed. After spending millions of their hard-earned dollars on ridiculously tacky jewelery, to be told that it can’t be worn under the new dress code policy has them all riled up. Now, Bodog has odds on whom the first player to be fined this season will be. Heavy favorites are 76ers guard(and Bodog CEO Calvin Ayre’s homeboy) Allen Iverson at 2/5; fan favorite Ron Artest of the Indiana Pacers at 5/6; and Denver Nuggets’ center Marcus Camby at 1/1. Iverson, who’s been at the forefront of the NBA’s transformation into hip-hop culture, says that even he will abide by the rules, however.

“Honestly, I really think that I will. Once they start talking about suspending me, then I don’t have a choice. I don’t want them to take my money, either. I don’t want to just give my money away. That’s just like taking it and burning it. But when they start talking about suspending me and hurting what we’re trying to do here as a basketball team, then I don’t have (any) choice but to abide by it.”

Be sure to watch Iverson practice his new business casual attire all season long. Practice.
