NBA Styles Have Come A Long Way…
…and when i mean a long way, I mean that they’ve come a long way from being bad to being fucking horrible. NBA.com, in preparation for their Draft today, has posted a slideshow of “Draft Styles” over the years, and it is hilarious and gruesome at once, but there is definitely one shot that I think best captures the moment of awkwardness that comes with walking up to a napoleonic David Stern immediately after just being chosen to be a multi-millionaire:
Stern’s mustache is EPIC while Olajuwon’s tux with red (why red??) bow tie really sets off his vacant “Who the fuck is this midget?” and “Did I get drafted over Michael Jordan?” zombie-stare.

Man… are they brown? With a blue suit (I bet the salesman told him it was black…)?
