Joakim Noah Fashion Faux Pas

As you all know, I’m a huge Gator Basketball fan. And this year, Florida is in the Final Four. Take that, Mojotek! Too bad they don’t always look so great off the court.

While announcers like to point out that the Gators are well-rounded, with several guys averaging double figures - one player really tends to stand out: 6′11″ center Joakim Noah.

Dude grabs crazy rebounds and throws down massive dunks - and every time, he celebrates with true passion.

I got used to seeing this guy screaming in celebration while leading his team to victory. That’s why it seemed sort of odd to see this photo of Noah in somewhat peculiar attire. It’s not like I expect him to wear his jersey everywhere he goes - but everyone knows you’re not supposed to wear socks with sandals.

    DUDE. The socks/sandals look is so 5 minutes ago.
    What is he thinking?

    Shit. Who am I kidding? As long as the Gators keep winning he can wear whatever the F he wants.

    What I want to know is… how in the hell did he find a moo moo that fit a 6′ 11″ dude? I’m betting his mama made it for him.

    I hope its a Florida/George Mason championship game with GM winning in true Cinderella style!

    C.Ro:
    If they win the title, I hope Noah pulls a Dennis Rodman.

    ZF:
    Yeah he does. He may want to consider joining the Polyphonic Spree.

    Jimmy:
    If he’s still around. I hear the NBA is very interested.

    Marc:
    Ouch!

    Mojotek:
    I hope you didn’t pick George Mason vs Florida for the title game in your office pool. That would be impossible. :)

    Aw - He looks like a modern-day disciple!

    I guess that’s the easiest thing for big and tall people to find. Just get a bolt of fabric, cut 3 holes in it and stick your head and arms through it and presto, an outfit.

    Shirley:
    Hell yes (except for the socks of course).

    Thao:
    Easy access, baby!

    Nat’l Reptitle:
    Thanks for the info. I’m just a silly goose and thought I’d make a little joke about his socks.

    First off, for all of you who think that the socks are a fashion no-no, get a life. If you’ve ever played basketball you’d know that all b-ball players wear socks with their slides. How crunchy do you feel now?? However, the big towel-like dress is NOT working, Noah.

    And another thing, im tall, 6′8″ to be exact. I’m only a 16 year old sophomore. Yes it is hard to find clothing for tall people, but we manage! And No WE DO NOT TAKE PIECES OF FABRIC AND CUT HOLES IN IT FOR AN OUTFIT, STEREOTYPICAL PEOPLE!!
