Kings' 'Cat' says NBA is wrong to pick on his hat
Cuttino Mobley gets a warning from the league about wearing skull caps during TV interviews.
Quote:
SAN ANTONIO - The NBA is messing with the Cat in the Hat.
Kings guard Cuttino Mobley drew the attention of NBA officials last week when he wore a knit cap during a television interview.
Unbeknownst to him, Mobley was violating a memo sent by the league before the season that forbids wearing headgear during interviews.
Mobley, known as "Cat" because he liked Dr. Seuss' "The Cat in the Hat" as a child, has been notified he was violating the league's edict and wasn't pleased.
Mobley has continued to wear the skullies during interviews, an action that could bring further communication from the league.
"I'm sure there is something else in life besides me wearing a logoed NBA gear," Mobley said Monday. "That's my whole thing.
"I'm a man of suits and ties, and you're worried about me wearing an NBA-logo hat? I don't have a fitted Phillies cap on. It's an NBA-logo skullie."
"Especially after I had on one outfit and deliberately put on a Sacramento Kings outfit, seeing as I'm a new member of the team," Mobley said. "I put my skullie on, a T-shirt, sweat suit, everything and represented the NBA. What more do you want?"

Just a bit on this from today's Peter Vecsey article:
Quote:
IN CASE you're unaware, the NBA this season instituted a new avant-garde dress code and other radical rules:
Players are prohibited from wearing any form of head gear during TV interviews; sitting or lying alongside the bench during games; and hooking up to I-Pods during pregame warm-ups. For those not in uniform, dress jeans are permitted but looking like a stumblebum above the waist is firmly forbidden (a collared shirt is required) and "strictly" enforced . . . that is, unless you're Cuttino Mobley and you insist on donning a woolen skullcap, complete with a league insignia.
Clearly, these are important changes in David Stern's sphere of influence. Yet the commissioner doesn't seem to give a hoot that coaches and players are babbling endlessly about coaching and playing elsewhere — tantamount to tampering with their own contracts, not to mention disrupting and infuriating their teams.

I like the players being expected to dress professionaly but I find the skull cap rule to be excessive.
He looked nice in that picture...

It's better than Karl Malone's cow boy hat for sure.
