same reason people who aren't basketball players do. Hell, Jerry Seinfeld would wear jeans, a suit jacket, and Nikes

I mean, I guess other people do it also, but it just seems outrageously prevalent in the NBA. And nothing JerrySeinfeld wears should be considered an excuse for the rest of us.
I've felt denim, and I've felt suit pants, and the suit pants seem like a much more comfortable material to wear.

Slacks/dress pants are not mandatory.

1. General Policy: Business Casual
Players are required to wear Business Casual attire whenever they are engaged in team or league business.

"Business Casual" attire means

• A long or short-sleeved dress shirt (collared or turtleneck), and/or a sweater.
• Dress slacks, khaki pants, or dress jeans.
• Appropriate shoes and socks, including dress shoes, dress boots, or other presentable shoes, but not including sneakers, sandals, flip-flops, or work boots.
  2. Exceptions to Business Casual
  
  There are the following exceptions to the general policy of Business Casual attire:

  • Sport Coat
  • Dress shoes or boots, and socks
    b. Players Leaving the Arena
    
    Players leaving the arena may wear either Business Casual attire or neat warm-up suits issued by their teams.
    
    c. Special Events or Appearances
    
    Teams can make exceptions to the Business Casual policy for special events or player appearances where other attire is appropriate -- e.g., participation in a basketball clinic.
    
    3. Excluded Items
    
    The following is a list of items that players are not allowed to wear at any time while on team or league business:
  • Sleeveless shirts
  • Shorts
  • T-shirts, jerseys, or sports apparel (unless appropriate for the event (e.g., a basketball clinic), team-identified, and approved by the team)

I always thought Steve Nash and Tracy McGrady would be awesome teammates... they could see the entire court at all times.
