You mean the correct suit era?

Do you still wear Jnco jeans?

I'd take those 1000x out of 1000x over these nut hugger things kids wear today!

Yeah.. Happy that Eras over with.

Yeah, I much rather have what these guys wearing today, at least they do not look like half empty yet still huge potato bags, I mean Geezus, and its just more interersting to see crazier outfits.

Eh, give em a break, you gotta cash in on your BRAND(tm) while the cameras are rolling. I'd be out there in a loincloth and Crocs.

They aren't dressing themselves, never did once the game started going pro. They are all wearing the same **** clothes everyone else is that some stylist told them to wear.

I thought NBA draftees trying to look clownish as possible was the tradition, its been goofy as long as I can remember it but I'm sure its getting worse.

Back in the day these kids didn't have money coming into the league except for the cash the donors would give them under the table.

Now it's all corporate and kids are establishing brands,etc at an earlier age. The NCAA even allows athletes to get paid for their name, image, likeness. They have stylists. It's just a different ballgame.

Oh and seeing the Magic draft a kid wearing purple just made me think this is probably another one who ends up on Magic's Lakers one day. Sorry it was just my first thought.

1998 is the worst fashion year.

Business people don’t even wear those suits anymore unless they are forced to. Fashion has changed and there is no reason for these kids to dress like 2011 bankers.

This?

I think it's alright. Like they would be willing to talk with me about Latter-Day Saints or something.

It’s the over use of chains, the lack of ties and the wacky colors. Other than that they are fine.

It's one of the few current NBA trends that I appreciate

I'd love for someone to come up to the podium wearing beach shorts, a flowery tank top ala California, sunglasses and flip flops.

That would be hysterical.

Jabari Smith had the worst look of the night. Suit looked nice and then he opened up the coat and it was full of a bunch of stupid pictures of himself. LOL, both me and my wife looked at each other at the same time and blurted out "DOUCHE".

No... I mean the Kings of Comedy parachute era.

I stand by correct! Suits are the worst thing ever, at least make them comfortable!

There is nothing more comfortable than a well fit suit

Agree to disagree on that one, haha. Do not find them comfortable at all.

This isn't new pheneom or currently in fashion. It's just kids with promise of too much money dressing up like buffoons.

They only look like "buffoons" to those of us old enough to not understand what young people consider to be fashionable.

Same. I have a few fitted suits that are obv more comfortable than other suits, but nothing beats joggers and a hoodie comfy imo.

I didn't remember it looking this bad, but there are a few normal looking guys there

but this is on another level, I can only save Jabari Smith there

I don’t see any issue with these suits today. Those 2000s clown suits looked terrible. These guys are going to play basketball not work in Wall Street. Those 2 guys on the right have great suits.
