The Biggest Style Fails of the 2013-2014 NBA Season

All that money, yet these NBA players are egregious style violators.

The vast improvement of style among NBA players has been monumental over the past few years. We've seen such advancements in million dollar-making men making sure they are dapper, representing their teams and themselves well in the public light. It's almost as if these men are adding fashion recognition to their career goals. But, with such advancements, you have to expect cataclysmic fuck-ups, too.

Even the most stylish men of today have an off day. It's perfectly fine...as long as no one sees it. Unfortunately, for some of our favorite NBA stars, that just isn't as easy as it may seem. Especially when cameras are on them almost 24/7; pre-game, post-game, pre-club, post-club, on social media, etc. You've gotta be on your game or you will get called out and it may or may not effect your game play (see: Indiana Pacers). The season is a wrap and playoffs are upon us, so dudes better get their shit straight or they'll get ousted simply for being included in The Biggest Style Fails of the 2013-2014 NBA Season.

Jordan Farmar with the full body Ed Hardy tattoo.

Jordan Farmar went to his tailor, pointed to an Ed Hardy ad and said "I want this." When your formal jacket is made of satin and accent color can be described as "creamsicle," you better be going to prom and planning to lose your virginity.

LeBron James has finally found something to detract from his hairline.

LeBron is not ignorant to trends. Pharrell's Arbys hat trend made King James' eyes light up because he finally got an opportunity to pull his forehead down to human height. He even went the extra mile to assure his hairline went into Walter White-esque hiding with a bandana underneath the Vivienne Westwood hat. This man is probably gonna win another ring and y'all allowed this shit to happen?

Dwyane Wade dressed like a Django Unchained rap music video extra.

Sometimes, D. Wade just needs the Lord's guidance. Has he not read the book that states "Thou shalt not look like a fuccboi." The butler's tuxedo jacket with chains and metallic shoes are something Diddy and Mase would've rocked if they made a music video in the early-19th century. He look like he finna be Samuel L. Jackson's replacement in the low-budget sequel to Django Unchained.

Javale McGee is camouflaging from his IRL problems.

People shouldn't post Instagrams of themselves wearing camouflage onesies. Seven foot NBA centers with 50,000+ followers and questionable in-game decision-making definitely shouldn't post Instagrams of camouflage onesies. Is he hiding from his responsibilities as an adult? Shaq would probably say so. I will say that I'm impressed he even found one in "Big Goofy Muhfucka" size.

Is Blake Griffin Bane or a Ninja Turtle?

Blake Griffin is guaranteed $94 milli over five seasons. So you cannot tell me he couldn't afford a better Halloween costume then this janky ass Bane x Ninja Turtle x Buzz Lightyear mash-up bullshit. This dude could've literally purchased the costume that Tom Hardy wore in The Dark Knight Rises, had whoever the hell designed it add some extensions for his tall light-skinned ass, wore it on Halloween, entered that white girl with the force of Zeus and left her and the costume in the dorm room she came from without thinking twice about it.

Paul George just got off the runway at Guadalajara Fashion Week.

Paul George's leather mariachi get-up was the talk of NBA All-Star weekend. I'm beginning to think he is doing a performance art piece on abstinence because he can't be getting no tang dressing like a member of Mexican underground bondage band, Golpear Las Bolas (Google Translate it, bruh).

Serge Ibaka: The Human Condom.

Serge looks like he's ribbed for her pleasure with this body-prophylactic of a short-sleeved hoodie thingy? Too bad it won't protect him from getting blasted with a nasty ass posterization.

Anthony Davis in the 2014 adaptation of Caddy Shack.

Anthony Davis looks like he just got off the links after hitting a negative everything. Too many individual pieces here that don't sit well with each other. The black henley attracts way too much attention to the plaid jacket and green pants instead of complementing them. The Pelican looks like a damn dodo.

Andre Drummond reppin' his new sponsor: Osh Kosh B'Gosh.

Wow. Drummond comes through with the cool pullover. Some decent Js on his feet. A dope ass..wait just one fucking minute, Andre Drummond! Since when do they make jeans in a 38 waist and 13 inseam? You're not fooling anyone rocking your sister's jeggings, Andre.

Tim Duncan has less swag than Matt Bonner.

We all know Tim Duncan is stuck in a '90s indie film with his style, but we also know the fucks he gives is in the decimals. The Akademik's denim loomed from a damn cotton gin, green pleather jacket from Pelle Pelle's SS14 collection and tucked in blaze orange (wtf lol?) polo shirt that matches Matt Bonner's pubic hair is a hodgepodge of the utmost fuckery.

Paul George needs to be stopped.

Who is in Paul George's corner telling him that tucking his suit pants into his socks and going onto late night television was a strong move? They need to be fired/executed. They needn't be giving advice. I don't give a damn if it was Paul's mom, she needs to go. One silly move like this will have opponents trying to dunk on you every chance they get.

Jeremy Lin is begging you to steal his lunch money.

Linsanity is dressed like every kid ever in the 5th grade with the cantaloupe-size cargo pocket pants and the short-sleeved button down from Kohls. This that un-ironic #normcore shit right here.

Russell Westbrook retires from the NBA to become Jason Derulo's weed holder.

Russell Westbrook is #fashion. We're not sure what planet this applies to yet, but we will spend countless government dollars and do extensive research to find out because the shit he's wearing most times is not of this galaxy. He looks like he just got done voguing with Gaga. At least he's finally met someone from his home planet in Miley Cyrus, so his cut-off Mandarin collar and drop-to-floor crotch pants can help him beam the fuck off.

James Harden channels Chingo Bling.

I totally understand that James Harden is just embracing the Texas lifestyle, but rocking cowboy boots and hat ALL AT ONCE is basically spitting in Texas' face and saying "do something" afterwards. You know he was just giggling in his head as he put on his right boot and pissed himself as he looked in the mirror whilst placing the hat atop his head. Houston gon' release him off the strength.
