The Basketball Jones: The Best and Worst Dressed from the 2012 NBA Draft

mkg-lillard-henson-best-dressed

The Score has a great piece at last night’s NBA Draft. However, instead of focusing on the best picks and who will make an immediate impact (or who wont, Dion Waiters anyone), they focus on who was best dressed and worst dressed. This years’ draft featured a couple of players who were intent on making sure they didn’t end up on a future June 2013 Blog featuring the worst dressed NBA Draft outfits of all time. Take a look at the article below to get more:

Hey guys, the draft was last night. As is customary tradition, we need to talk about what these guys were wearing. So let’s hand out some nonsense awards.

Best Dressed — Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Damian Lillard, John Henson
To be honest, there weren’t any really great standout outfits like Wes Johnson’s Ralph Lauren lookbook steez. Everyone wore pretty basic gear, so you need to look at small details to pick a winner. Things like Thomas Robinson’s knit tie, Damian Lillard’s checked jacket and John Henson’s cutaway collar were nice touches on snazzy looks that made these guys look the teensiest bit better than the rest of their draft class. Other than Tom Bob’s tie bar being just a smidge too high, not much to complain about here.

Some of the hits included on the mixtape: “I Really Like it”, “Breathe, Stretch, Shake,” “Welcome Back,” “24 Hours to Live,” “Mo Money, More Problems,” “Horse & Carraige” and more… Stay tuned to Uristocrat.com for release information and release party.

Mason Durell Betha (born August 27, 1977),[1] better known by stage name Mase (often typeset as Ma$e) who was previously known as Murda Ma$e, is an American rapper, songwriter, actor and inspirational speaker. He was an artist on Sean “Diddy” Combs’s hip hop label Bad Boy Records. He was introduced as Bad Boy Entertainment’s next big artist during the summer of 1996 when he was featured on the remix to 112′s debut single, “Only You”, which peaked at number one on Billboard’s Hot Dance Singles Sales chart as well as its Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. With his soon-to-be-trademarked[citation needed] slow flow, Mase quickly developed a crossover fan base as he was featured on original tracks, as well as remixes, by popular R&B artists such as Brian McKnight, Mariah Carey, Keith Sweat, and Brandy, among others. Puff Daddy (Diddy) featured Mase on “Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems” from The Notorious B.I.G.’s double-LP Life After Death, the album’s biggest hit single. He then featured Mase on several songs on his own debut album, No Way Out: the lead single, “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down”, which hit number one on the Rap, R&B, and Pop charts, as well as on “Been Around the World”, which would also reach number one on Billboard’s Hot Rap Tracks. By the time Mase released his own debut album, Harlem World, in late 1997, the rapper had become Bad Boy’s premier artist, filling the void left by the death of Biggie Smalls. He is married to Twyla Betha and leads an international ministry.
