10 Best NBA Draft fashion decisions of last decade
By Jaylyn Cook
9. Paul George (2010)
Paul George is arguably the second best lottery pick in Indiana Pacers history – after Hall-of-Famer Reggie Miller, of course. However, when it comes to the history of draft fashion, George takes the advantage over the trash talking terror of the 90’s.
On his Draft night in 1987, Miller was at his California home wearing a t-shirt and baseball cap. George, on the other hand, brought the flash in a cream colored blazer and jacket, which was the lightest on the spectrum of suit colors during the 2010 Draft.
Speaking of colors, what was Wesley Johnson wearing that year? The jacket was fine, but his pants gave the impression that they were made out of an old picnic blanket. It was like he ate a tartan-colored Pretty Patty before the draft and the lower half of his body changed colors. For real, those pants looked like the bag on a bagpipe and the worst part was, there was really no reason for it.
We could go a long while roasting Johnson’s lack of style with esoteric pop culture references for hours, but it takes away from the main point at hand – which is that sometimes, simplicity speaks volumes over complexity.
