So, without further ado, here are six of the worst dressers in the NBA – at least, according to the internet.
1. Gradey Dick

Toronto Raptors guard Gradey Dick is only 20 years old, so he still has plenty of time to learn, but even his fans have noticed a discrepancy between his game play and his ability to dress himself. “Love your game but your drip is very questionable,” one user wrote on an Instagram photo the star shared of himself in oversized trousers with an elasticated waistband and a baseball jersey.
2. Dirk Nowitzki

With career earnings of US$242 million, according to Forbes, German former NBA player Dirk Nowitzki really has no excuse for wearing such drab outfits, which mostly consist of “slacks” and “button-downs”, in his words on X (formerly Twitter).
Accused by fellow player Chandler Parsons of “dressing like an old man”, he even shared a photo of himself in 2017 in an oversized beige turtleneck, jeans and black dress shoes asking if he should keep the jumper or throw it out. Needless to say, commenters on X had plenty to say in response.
3. Tim Duncan

Sports Illustrated deemed NBA All Star Tim Duncan’s personal style to be so “astoundingly terrible” that when he retired, the publication took the opportunity to rank his top 10 “most egregious fashion crimes”. Particular lowlights included his truly enormous and uninspiring yellow checked shirts, and the jorts and Birkenstocks combo he wore to pick up his 2002 MVP trophy.
4. James Harden

5. Zion Williamson

New Orleans Penguins’ Zion Williamson’s injury struggles have given his fans repeated opportunities to examine his courtside style – and if their comments are anything to go by, they’re not impressed. His anime-themed outfits, neon Timbs, distressed jeans and fedora combos led one NBA TikTokker to go as far as to say that “everybody on the internet [is] consistently amazed with his ability to put together the most terrible ‘fits”.
6. Kyle Kuzma

His message to the haters, per Brobible? “If I do something that people don’t like or get people talking – hey, at least I gave them something to talk about today.”
