RISE OF THE NBA NERD

In the article "The Rise of the NBA Nerd", talks about the way Wesley Morris states how big named NBA basketball players such as LeBron James and Dwane Wayde,  today are starting to dress more nerdy and preppy than before. Wesley thinks that it is odd for the trend that is being taken. Also Wesley points out how over time the way the players are dressing like they are scholaristic wearing a backpack and trying to make it look as if there is homework in the bag. He states that is almost as weird as having a black president. But then again these are the most successful people in the world. People look up to them, they are our role models.Wesley really gets in to how a couple years back in the show The Fresh Prince how Carlton used to dress and we all thought he look like a herb but now in todays society that is normal. The people we used to make fun of when we were young now is what we want to dress like, look like and act like. He wraps up the Article with saying something is different today than basketball used to be something just isn't right. There is no longer a normal. I think it crazy that something so small like the way someone dresses can impact someones life so much. People think that if you grew up in a city or or in the "hood" you're screwed but thats a stereotype, like Wesley said if who you look up too someone who does something differnt your going to embrace them and want to be the next person to dress like them or act like them. Becuase they are successful who doesn't want to be. Its good how they are making a change in wearing "nerdy" or "preppy" clothes because it can really make a positive imapct.
