no, no advertising of the iPod. they can have a sign or a banner or whatever up, but nothing on any clothing that would suck.
i am sorry, but you people are missing the point. is the nba an entertainment orgaisation or a prison? come on...so what if he listens to music before the game, let the guy do whatevere works for him or whatever. i say this with no connection to his commitment or the raptors play, just hope to make a point on how ridicilous some of these minor rules seem!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting og15:</div><div class="quote_post">NBA says no Ipod for Carter Vince just doesn't get anything he wants lol, no trade, team hasn't won, and now no IPod's before the game </div> WTF? That's the dumbest restriction I've ever heard in my entire life. Stu Jackson is truely an idiot. That's like saying you can't listen to music before the beginning of class in school.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Chungster:</div><div class="quote_post">That article is by Dave Feschuk right? It's only one game; what's wrong with you people? If Carter has a monster game next game versus the Clippers, all of you will be kissing his ass again.</div> You could be right there, who knows. But here's the thing, he hasn't done much of anything this season. He's averaging a dismal 14.6 ppg and just recently scored 4 points, yes, that's right, 4 lousy points. Not superstar numbers by any means. Than, aside from that, he's only had one game where he's breached the 20 point mark, everything else has been 12, 15, or 16 points. Maybe he should stop secluding himself from everyone and start doing things with his team. Cause right now, he's not helping his team by not scoring anything. They're going nowhere fast, as they've lost 3 of their last 4. And beyond that, he's shooting a wonderful 38.1% from the floor. I don't understand why you praise him so much....I just don't get it.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PLAYER/TEAM CONDUCT AND DRESS (5) The only article bearing a commercial 'logo' which can be worn by players is their shoes. </div> It's because of the logo's, they aren't allowed to wear that stuff, it isn't some isolated situation
Is it serioyusly because of the logos? because people can tape up their stuff anr demove all logos etc,. thought it was becuase of it brining away from the team atmosphere. otherwise, its still stupid.
i dont think its to do with logos, i thought it had to do with the nba's dress code on the court, and headphones violating the dress code
