Not Ranked
As a former high school basketball official, I watched for several years as the high schoolers would imitate what they saw the college and NBA players doing on the court. I can't imagine that they would not have also taken note of their off-court behavior too. I think the role model thing is inescapable.
Whether it's tattoos, brands, long shorts, headbands, wristbands, tee shirts, hanging on the rim, trash talking, or just the latest "move," the youngsters don't miss a thing as they watch their heroes in action.
Just my $.02 worth.
