Come on Man!

Just prior to Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade entered the arena dressed in a double breasted polka dot suit.  I understand that NBA basketball players tend to wear colorful, ostentatious, or "loud" outfits that--in another decade--might constitute Elton John's wardrobe for an evening performance.  And I suppose the Rocket Man and today's modern hoops stars can both be classified as entertainers, so maybe it follows that the legends can wear whatever they like.


Maybe Wade stole these pants from Nate Robinson.

But judging by the reaction of the Inside the NBA halftime team, even this gaudy superstar might be guilty of the occasional faux pas.  "Sir" Charles Barkley reacted to Wade with his trademark expression "Come on man" before declaring that "Miami Heat are the worst dressed team in the NBA."  And Shaq agreed.  Ouch!

Wade's accoutre is not intrinsically offensive, but it is better suited (no pun intended) to a much more casual setting.  That said, I could never do the tight pants.
