The Best And Worst Fashions Of The 2013 NBA Playoffs So Far

May 13, 2013 - 8:12 pm by Desire Thompson

Even the most elite NBA players have long stepped up their style game, from just rocking oversized suits (although some clearly still can't locate a tailor) to draping themselves in designer garb and colorful getups, both pre- and post-game (See: LeBron's murse).

That said, the 2013 playoff season brings a whole new set of wardrobe wins and fails. While some look phresh off the runway, others would appall the fashion police. Click through for some of the best and worst styles at the NBA Playoffs so far.

The Player: James Harden
Style Verdict: Thumbs Down
Mixing and matching is the norm in fashion, but Harden's forest green vest fails to complement this distressed denim shirt.

The Player: Brandon Jennings The Verdict: Thumbs Down Kudos to Brandon Jennings for going bold with his En Noir Triumph Divine jacket, but it's more of an eye sore than a work of art. Photo Credit: Instagram

The Player: Lebron James Style Verdict: Thumbs Down LeBron's Staple Fallon floral crew neck from streetwear brand Staple Design raised a lot of questions, but no answers. Bron became the joke of Instagram memes all over the web, but that's nothing new for him. Photo Credit: NBA Style

The Player: Dwyane Wade Style Verdict: Thumbs Down Like LeBron, fellow Heat player Dwayne Wade caught flower power fever with this floral jacket from Versace's 2013 Spring Menswear collection. We hope this trend stops here. Photo Credit: AOL

The Player: Russell Westbrook Style Verdict: Thumbs Up The usually flashy Russell Westbrook played it cool in a black leather shirt. Due to his leg injury, we'll have to catch Westbrook's bold fashion choices on the sidelines. Photo Credit: CBS

The Player: Chris Paul Style Verdict: Thumbs Up The Clippers PG has a knack for subtle style, opting for this down-to-earth green and black Givenchy contrast shoulder shirt that's the perfect fit. Photo Credit: Getty Images

The Player: Kevin Durrant Style Verdict: Thumbs Down Durant kept it funky with his signature glasses and green-on-green attire. But if the background was green, the OKC player would be straight camouflage. Photo Credit: Google

The Player: Kobe Bryant Style Verdict: Thumbs Up Although the Lakers were on their way out of the playoffs at this point, that didn't stop an injured Black Mamba from showing love to his team. The Givenchy Green Paisley Shirt he donned with his suit looks formal yet fashionable. Photo Credit: Getty Images

The Player: Dwyane Wade Style Verdict: Thumbs Down The Heat will likely sail through the NBA Finals and take home another chip. And Dwayne Wade is well aware of this. It's the only explanation for this ankle-length, semi-capri pants plus double-breasted blazer look he sported when the Heat took on the Bulls in round 2. We're all for style daredevils, but had D-Wade paired his capris with more chill gear, it might've worked. Photo Credit: Deadspin

The Player: Paul George Style Verdict: Thumbs Down With more muted pants, Pacers Forward Paul George could have possibly, maybe pulled off his That '70s Show-style look. This Leprechaun number he wore for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat proved to be no good luck charm, as the Pacers lost by one in OT. Photo Credit: SBNation.com
