Spurs' Jackson calls out NBA style

Written by Kyle Boenitz on .

Stephen Jackson clearly has a lot of hobbies outside of basketball. We know he likes to rap and is an avid shoe collector. Apparently now we can add fashion critic to the list.

Jackson posted a picture on his Twitter page of New York Knicks Amar’e Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler dressed up for some sort of event. He was quite critical of their attire.

"This why I don't hang with nba cats,” Jackson said. “That's ain't trill. And if u mad check it." 

I have to agree with Jackson. Is Tyson Chandler wearing some sort of capris? It looks like both guys went into their closets, closed their eyes and just started grabbing clothes and putting them on.

These two aren’t the only NBA players guilty of some horrible fashion choices. Just about everyday there’s someone stepping out in a mismatched, off-colored ensemble that burns your eyes to look at. I’m sure Stephen Jackson is guilty of a few fashion faux pas himself.

But it’s fun to enjoy the style misfortunes of others. So check out the pic, have a good laugh and enjoy the rest of your Friday.

I am not certain what "trill" means exactly. But if it means anything in the same vein as "cool" or "presentable" or "not absolutely stupid"...I agree.

Nice capris Chandler!! Hahaha I miss the days before Stern implemented the "clothing" rules and you saw AI walk into a game in some powder blue, furry FUBU tracksuit. Or how about Timmy D in the classic oversized, short-sleeve, button up, with baggy pants and Timberlands? Fashion in the NBA has mirrored the NBA's use of technicals; ridiculous. Thanks Jax for telling it like it is!!

Studying film in LA, I had a few pretty hispter friends who bought everything at thrift stores. I'm so style expert, but I must say they were pretty stylish. But even so, they would call these dudes out. What in the heck are these dues thinking?

 @ryankxlu a couple years down the road they will blame "personal stylists" ;)

I dont always agree with Jax' views..but he is on point here. That's some hideous sh*t, straight up. And if I see one more player wearing glasses with no lenses in them I'm going to yawn in technicolor. Stupidest fad ever.. We aren't fooled into thinking you're smart once you don empty "glasses"
