Paolo Banchero’s Huge Jeans on Magazine Cover Had NBA Fans Making Michael Jordan Jokes

Michael Jordan Paolo Banchero NBA MJ (Person)

NBA Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero made an appearance on the cover of SLAM magazine in a wild outfit that has NBA fans making Michael Jordan jokes.

The cover photo features the Magic star rocking his Orlando jersey, Oakley ski goggles and extremely baggy jeans. It’s a look you almost have to see to believe.

It is slightly reminiscent of Jordan’s baggy jeans and denim-heavy looks that have often been made fun of, including when never-before-seen footage from The Last Dance showed off more of Jordan’s fits from over the years. Banchero’s look takes things to another level, though. And while any comparison to perhaps the greatest player ever would seem like a positive, Banchero likely would’ve preferred they be tied to his game rather than his fashion sense.

Here’s Ranchero’s cover shot:

Immediately, NBA fans looking to clown Banchero’s interesting outfit took to Twitter to make the same joke.
