I doubt its a budget...he probably gets them free. I remember Bargs was getting suits from Armani free of cost.

There is a renowned tailor in Atlanta (Where Smitch lives) and every time teams goto Atlanta most make a stop by his shop because he specializes in the "Big and Tall" man. Or as Sam said when they were in Italy "I cant wear those suits...I have an ass!"

Im sure he gets the hometown discount

I wonder if its live....... i work on the same floor as the BNN!

nice thanks, post game with Smitch on BNN!! How much does Sam spend on Chocolate cake??

this i gotta see

I'm pretty sure Sam gets all of his suits from some guy in woodbrige or something. I'm pretty sure he gets them fo rfree too.

There was an article about this year how the guys business has taken off with NBA clientele because of Sam. Something like Sam never wears the Sam suits more than twice, he gives away a lot of the suits to his family and friends, and the tailor actually co ordinates his wardrobe because Sam is horrible at it.

Someone please cap this

There was an article at the beginning of the season that said Sam gets most of his suits (40 for the season) from a tailor (father/son biz) in Woodbridge. And since Sam is looking like Gucci, the biz is now fashioning a number of sports players, broadcasters, etc.

I think the renowned shop in Atlanta every NBA players goes to is a shoe store that caters to big men who wield size 14+ feet.

Quoted for truth.

He gets 40 suits for the season and 2 shirts and ties for every game. He gets to choose the outfit though.

Sam Needs to Sport the High Collar & Fitted Suit, like the ultimate dresser B C !!! Stop ~swimming~ in those trousers smitch!!

you might be wrong about this. The TOronto Sun did a story this year about a Woodbridge tailor who does Mitchell's suits (and the suits of other NBA players)

Smitch does swim in those trousers, doesn't he?

As for BC, the high collars are sylish, but unfortunately i think the motivation is more neck scarring than style.
