NBA fans roasted Paolo Banchero’s oversized jeans with so many Michael Jordan jokes

Michael Jordan Paolo Banchero NBA MJ (Person) SLAM (Organization)

As the 2023 Rookie of the Year, Paolo Banchero might be the face of a coming renaissance for Orlando Magic basketball. To this stage, as the 2022 No. 1 overall pick, Banchero has more than lived up to the hype and appears to be in line for a great career.

But what he achieves on the court might not match up with his fashion decisions.

On Wednesday, it was revealed that Banchero is the cover star of the latest issue of SLAM magazine. And in one of the photos, the bright young forward is wearing massively oversized jeans. Needless to say, while I’m sure Banchero felt he had a good fit: in 2023, this is NOT a denim look that’s coming back.

After seeing the 6-foot-10 Banchero wear these enormous pants, NBA fans took to Twitter with so many jokes about Michael Jordan, who has a reputation for wearing very large jeans.
