The rule goes into effect immediately, and players have one week to bring themselves into compliance. “This is something I wanted to do to maintain some uniformity in regards to the way the players dress,” said Stern. “After all, they are uniforms. They’re supposed to be uniform aren’t they? We can’t have some guys running around with wristbands and some without, and some guys wearing tights and some not, and some guys wearing size 16 shoes while other wearing size 11’s. That’s not acceptable. Everyone must conform. For example, have you ever checked out the guys in the league office? Can you tell any of us apart? Exactly.” Stern said the lack of rules regarding footwear has resulted in a “dizzying array” of huge shoes, medium sized ones, and little tiny ones. Now, with the new rule, all players will be forced to wear size 13. “Judging from the size of the footwear on our players, you would never know that all these guys play in the same league,” he said. “It’s crazy. Some guys look like big foot, while other guys look like little kids. We’ve got to get everybody on the same page here. And I don’t want to hear anybody complaining about their shoe being the wrong size and hurting their feet. Please. Tell your sneaker company butt-buddies to design something that won’t hurt your feet. Otherwise you’ll be playing in the NBDL, which, contrary to what I say every 5 minutes, is not even close to being a legitimate league.” </div> Link
Is he kidding ?;D Yao and Boykins have to wear the same sized shoes ? And Iverson can't wear his sleeve anymore ? How the hell is he going to play then ?
“I’m not wearing size 13 shoes. No chance,” said the 76ers Allen Iverson. “I’m an 11 and a half and I’ll be stumbling all over the place with those things. They can fine me whatever they want. I just wish they would stop judging people by the stupid things like the size shoes they where. The only thing that matters is what’s on the inside. Okay so some of us aren’t exactly prizes on the inside, either. Maybe they should just judge us on dribbling ability.”
