The 1st Annual James Harden Worst Dressed List

Inspired by James “The Beard” Harden’s unique ability to push the boundaries of good taste with his attire.

This inaugural list is for the ballers who have followed in his colorful clown shoes. Without further ado let’s find out who made this year’s list.

The first entry is the Philadelphia 76ers’ second-year guard and recent G League call-up Jaden Springer.

Despite only appearing in a grand total of four games this season and averaging 1.3 PPG in those appearances, he’s made his presence felt off the court, and not in a good way.

Here he is looking like a cross between a human eggplant emoji and Grimace.

Next up, we have the second Jaden to make the list. Dallas Mavericks rookie Jaden Hardy.

The pants look like someone skinned Sulley from Monsters Inc. and made him into a pair of trousers. This is the kind of “help” Luka currently has in Dallas.

Moving on from the Jaden’s, we have Jerami Grant. An established forward who is actually putting up 22 points per so far this season. Plus, his uncle is Horace Grant, who played 16 seasons in the association despite being legally blind.

Unfortunately, Jerami inherited a jumper and not a good fashion sense. As is evident by his clutch purse accessory and a pair of black loafers that Hermione Granger wore to class at Hogwarts.

Pushing boundaries is one thing. Impairing your own vision like a toddler pulling a sweater over his head is another. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander blurs the two.

Last, but not least, we have Kyle Kuzma’s Willy Wonka without a t-shirt-looking-ass.

Honorable Mentions

This isn’t just an NBA list, there are plenty of awful fits around the world to make fun of.

Chief among them is Paris Basketball’s Alex Toupane, whose Russian babushka look leads the (dis)honorable mentions.

Halloween outfits have become more elaborate in recent years. But someone forgot to tell the C’s Grant Williams. This Adam West Batman costume, replete with zip-up boots reminded my mom of her childhood.

I remember DeAndre Jordan’s heyday. Back when he was throwing down monster alley-oops on Brandon Knight.

Now, he’s looking like a missing member of Fat Albert’s gang.
