"Dudes dressed like sassy granny" - NBA fans mock Myles Turner & Pacers' pregame outfits ahead of Spurs matchup

The Indiana Pacers are one of the most promising and entertaining teams in the NBA right now. While fans have been entertained by their Rick Carlisle masterminded offense, there seems to be one avenue where their attempts have been met with ridicule - fashion.

While off-court fashion statements are the least of their concerns, with the team in the thick of Eastern Conference Playoff contention with a 24-19 record, the players, particularly center Myles Turner, seem to be having it rough on social media for their pregame outfit choices.

Ahead of their game against the San Antonio Spurs for the first game of the NBA's Paris outing, the Pacers' stars lined up with glitzy outfits, only for most fans to dismiss their wardrobe choices. One fan commented:

Other fans quickly followed suit, laughing off the Pacers' stars and commenting on their inability to spend wisely on clothes, or a stylist.

Myles Turner seemed to have been particularly targetted by the comments, with fans even poking fun at his interest in LEGO collectibles while linking it to his seemingly poor fashion choices.

This comment alludes to the altercation between Myles Turner and Isaiah Stewart earlier this week, where the Pistons' center called out Turner for being "fruity" for having a LEGO collection.

In what was a heated encounter between two young teams from the East, tempers flared and a brawl ensued after the conclusion of the game. Known for his antics at riling opponents up, the Pistons' Isaiah Stewart was at the center of attention with his comments on Myles Turner grabbing headlines.

Stewart referred to Turner as "fruity" and seemed unimpressed by the 28-year-old's extensive LEGO collection. While the brawl did not escalate further, Turner did not appear comfortable being mocked for his hobby. Fan comments ridiculing him for the same are likely to be met with a similar response.

Despite all this noise surrounding his fashion sense and hobby, Myles Turner has been one of Indiana's most important players, averaging 15.5 points and 2.0 blocks per game while shooting 40% from long distance. In an era where true stretch bigs are commodities of utmost value in the league, the Pacers' center is likely to continue his exploits and have a long career. His vast LEGO collection is also likely to keep growing, regardless of what fans or Isaiah Stewart may have to say.
