MONTREAL, Oct. 20, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- With the new NBA dress code set to begin in a few weeks, BetUS.com, an online gambling client endorsed by former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, announced today the odds on who will be the player to be fined the most for violating the code. The code's most vocal critic, Allen Iverson, was named the favorite with 5 to 2 odds.
The new dress code bans shorts, sleeveless shirts, sneakers and headphones. It also makes business casual attire before, during and after team events mandatory.
"Even though Iverson said he'll comply with the code, he's still our odds on favorite," says BetUS.com spokesman Mike Foreman. "We'll see if he can resist his throwback jerseys come the November 1 season opener against the Bucks."
Marcus Camby is the second favorite with 3 to 1 odds and Kobe Bryant and Stephen Jackson are both third with 4 to 1 odds. The rest of the odds are listed below.
