Basketball fans wait breathlessly for John Wall‘s gigantic hand and wrist to shrink enough for him to rejoin the Wizards and resume possibly the most surprising playoff run in the NBA. Until it does, they’ll have to see him wearing street clothes business *casual* attire on the sideline. But damn, John, could you at least make that pleasant?

Ramon Sessions’ face is our face. No one can wear an outfit like that on national TV and pass by unnoticed by Twitter.
John Wall’s outfit looks like it was designed by LEGO.

The only viable excuse for John Wall's outfit is that he was unable to wave off the tailor with his bum hand.#WizHawks

For whatever Back to the Future II got wrong about 2015, it perfectly predicted John Wall's outfit pic.twitter.com/CoUqH47pOT

J.R. Smith‘s Cavaliers were off that night, so he had time to watch the game, and he joined in on this particular episode of Twitter Fashion Police®:

That’s some good hatin’. The suit J.R. is referencing is presumably Charles Barkley’s legendary suit from when he was drafted.
I think Wall’s outfit and Barkley’s suit are like apples and oranges. Barkley looked like he worked at a hotel, and Wall’s is just an eyesore of clashing patterns and colors. Of course, there were some who did defend the getup, and one that I couldn’t pin down, but kind of agree with:
John Wall's outfit is pretty much beyond the limits of my vocabulary.

Come back soon, John. We’ll never make fun of you for wearing a basketball jersey.
