Richardson against NBA's new dress code (AP) Updated: 2005-10-21 11:01
Richardson has always liked to express himself with his funky attire. Now, he
knows he will be wearing his suits much more often — noting "I've got a nice
collection of suits."
He doesn't mind the league mandate for "cleaning up" the bench, but believes
a large number of players make their way to and from their cars out of the
public view, so they should be able to wear what they want in those cases.
"You're expressing yourself, expressing your identity. It's taking away our
self expression. I like to dress and change it up," Richardson said. "Some of
them have religious meanings behind their chains, others have personal messages
behind their chains. Some guys just like to wear them. I think that was an
indirectly racial."
