Three in the middle only. Gun to your head; which do you wear:

Grandma's Couch, Bellhop Chic, or Tux Shorts?

The Caucasian gentleman on the right is Slovenian and clearly doesn't understand how to dress to go viral.

Bellhop chic, I suppose.

This is standard fare for the NBA. It wasn't always so.

That picture of Kareem is amazing. I mean I know he is big but the tailor must be equally short to have such a contrast.

Walt Frazier’s jacket has an interesting cut. It’s something I’d expect on a DB suit.

Grandma's Couch.

I would then strategically position my body so that the suit's sheen would reflect sunlight into the gunman's face, blinding him; a quick Krav Maga disarm followed by a throat punch would neutralize the assailant.

I would then change, and ask the fellow on the right if he knows of any good Slovenian restaurants in town.

I would have to go with my Canadian brother and go with the couch.

Is Trae Young trying to look taller? I can't imagine him being an NBA player.

These are prom outfits. Check your local high schools. Betting that the Slovenian basketball association provided the one acceptable suit (for this board at least)

We made a suit for Wilt Chamberlain. ( Our fitter, who was 6', used a step stool ). Mr. Chamberlain was very personable, intelligent, an a gentleman to work with. The suit we made was a classic 2 button, long roll, center vent,plain front trousers.
RIP Wilt.

No kidding!

I can remember when NBA players were some of the best dressed men, not just athletes, around.

When ever you see or hear something that just makes you cry, "Why!?!?," simply supply the answer, "It's all about the money."

And, obviously, the Slovenian gentleman has not been paid.

I am not so sure I like the 4 button look on Clyde and often wonder if a 4 button suit actually does look good on a taller individual (granted this is 4/3 roll).

In general, I suspect many things look better on a taller man. (Opinion of a shriveled shrimp! )

But Clyde's aesthetic was both complex and carefully nuanced. Obviously a man who knew clothes dressed by men who knew clothing.

Wilt was an interesting guy to be sure. Not surprised to hear that you enjoyed his company.

There is a famous story told by Don Nelson Jr. of a rookie player showing up in non appropriate road attire for a team trip. Upon further inquiry and threat of a fine it was discovered that the player had washed his newly purchased custom garments just as his Mother had taught him to do his laundry and the results had not quite been what he expected.

 

[damon54]

Any chance you still have Wilts measurements handy??
