Once-rare throwback jerseys,a trend catapulted by hip-hop artists,can now be bought anywhere sweat socks are sold.To capitalize off the throwback craze,the NBA created Hardwood Classic Nights,which are games when teams wear their franchise's old school uniforms-a relative fashion show of jerseys.
But is hip-hop fine for profit but offensive on the court?The NBA,at times,seems embarrassed by it's relationship with the culture.
Several players have been fined for wearing shorts too long (of course,oversized gear is a staple of hip-hop culture).Allen Iverson's tattoos were airbrushed out on the cover of Hoop Magazine,an NBA publication.
The league also discouraged hanging on the rim and taunting via technical fouls.
"It comes down to a generational difference," said Boyd,who overseas the study of race and popular culture in USC's School of Cinema-Television.
"The gate-keepers of the NBA are older and white.They want to make the league out to be something to fit them instead of taking the league for what it is.It's not just racial.There are many black people who don't like hip-hop either.It's a generational difference.People from older generations want to impose their beliefs on the younger generation."
Los Angeles Clippers forward Elton Brand said a mistake is made when hip-hop is affixed just to those who are boisterous and unruly,to those who show-out on the court and get in trouble off it.
He said people need to realize some of the good guys in the league - the Kevin Garnetts,the Derek Fishers,the Richard Hamiltons - also fit under the umbrella of hip-hop.
"Hip-hop is not just gangsta rap and party music," Brand said."I'm sure they look at someone living a hip-hop lifestyle as someone with braids,tattoos,they smoke weed.They don't see the other guys as hip-hop."
