I'm with old school on this... Barklay did pretty much say the same thing....and i am tired of seeing and hearing all these babies in the NBA....but hey maybe some of us have too good memories of a by-gone era...i lament for the days where Walt "Clyde" Frazier, Wilt, Julius Irving, Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, Jim Brown, just to name a few of our sports giants from back in the day..... showed the world...not just the Black world how smooth,cool and classy looks in "Black"......and as far as Scoop Jackson is concerned he may feel it's cool and hip to dress like current hip-hoppers..with his "jeans hanging on [his] ass"... but I find solace in knowing not all of our top black scribes follow his "style".... big ups to J.A. Adande of the L.A. Times....and Nelson George....Master Degree on the wall or not ....Brotha you have it wrong....take it from this brotha ... I will take the styles of Magic and Michael..any day.....over all this bling bling BS the kid ballers want to dress in today.....at least some of todays ballers get it...big ups to Jalen Rose
