The NBA and image

The NBA has recently done things like mandate dress codes, and impose lengthy suspensions for fighting. But even with the nicey nice changes, the NBA and its players continue to wonder why they are portrayed as thugs? Hmmm. I wonder.

I was going to put a picture to illustrate something, but for some reason, I can't. So just google search for Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony and look at the image they project. Sorry you have to work for it.
