Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson turned heads with his bizarre fashion choice ahead of Tuesday night’s In-Season Tournament tilt against the Lakers.
Arriving at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Clarkson made his tunnel walk wearing a massive black hat, which somewhat resembled a pirate’s hat.
The NBA on TNT crew had plenty to say about his appearance, roasting the 31-year-old for his unorthodox choice of headwear after seeing footage of him walking toward the visiting team’s locker room.
Shaquille O’Neal could be heard comparing Clarkson to a conquistador, while Kenny Smith shouted, "Pirates of the Caribbean!”
“What the hell is that? Halloween was two weeks ago,” said a confused Charles Barkley.
