Here's the Top 10

10. Kenyon Martin's "Trina Lips" Neck Tattoo

OK, we understand you were dating Trina, but a tattoo of the woman's lips who Baby and Lil Wayne fam-banged?

9. Marquis Daniels' Marquis Daniels Jesus Piece

Wow. Really? You could have put your paycheck in a trust for your unborn seed but instead you went ahead and Rick Ross-ed yourself. Oooooh... You can tie up the individual strands of diamonds that comprise your mini me's jewel braids? Well, in that case... No, seriously, WHAT A FAIL. Hang your head, sir. All three heads. For shame.

8. John Rocker's Clubbin' Outfits

Wow. While thorough, iron-clad Wikipedia-ing has yet to confirm this, we believe that John Rocker is a double-dealer of the highest order. After publicly bashing the LGBT communities of New York and Atlanta, dude starts dressing like it's Pride Week in West Hollywood: sheer knits and satin zipper- (not button-) ups. Plus, he squires arm candy of a suspiciously low body-fat ratio and thick-wristed variety. Mad suspect.

7. Cristiano Ronaldo's Prick-Tease Heterosexuality

As if the fact that this soccer star is named after his father's favorite actor--Ronald Reagan--isn't enough, another albatross is that this shiny, hairless, perfectly bronzed Portuguese man is allergic to trousers that extend past the length of his member. Additionally, the unctuous tincture that grows on his head alongside the follicles is highly flammable and by that we mean pretty fucking gay.

6. Sammy Sosa's Face Bleaching

As if the corked bat incident, the steroids suspicion, and his "Me no speakie Englesh" claims when Congress called him up weren't enough, this guy goes and bleaches his face. What a FAIL. Best part of all? It only worked temporarily and Sammy's duskiness returned scant weeks later. Impetigo's taken as an excuse, pal. And that guy DIED. Ol'-Eddie Munster-looking-assself-hater.

5. Michael Jordan's Questionable Facial Hair and Distressed Dad Jeans

See, we're willing to overlook the infidelity, the gambling, and the occasional assholishness of your overall character. You're the best that ever did it. And besides, your shoes? LEGENDARY. All good. But sorry, MJ—it's still no excuse for dressing like a guidance counselor. With a Third Reich 'stache AND SOUL PATCH.

4. Karl Malone's Entire Wardrobe Timeline

Maybe Karl Malone thought he was going to Easter service, or maybe he thought basketball thing wasn't going to work out and decided to dress as Skipper from Gilligan's Island—whatever it is, you're not on a boat, MOTHERFUCKER! And for christ's sake, where is the rest of your tie?! And shirt??!! GAH! What are you doing in this other one? Our eyes!!!!

3. Kobe Bryant's All-White Fashion Editorial

Kobe-Stans will always find ways to defend his aborted rap album, the Shaq feud, even Eagle County...but this shit right here? ETHER. Make sure you have a print-out ready before your next Mamba debate. Pardon the interruption but BOOOOOOOOOOM! You're done. Look. At. Your. Man.

2. Dennis Rodman's Need For A Lot of Attention

The NBA's rebounding king was guilty of plenty of flagrant fouls with his off-court style—so many, in fact, that we suspect cataloging all of his wild looks would be time-consuming...and wild suspect. Man, the Worm turns. Stomachs.

1. Every NBA Draft's Everything

The annual NBA Draft is entertaining for a number of reasons, but none more so than the litany of terrible suits parading from green room to stage. It's a veritable murderers' row of Big & Tall fuckery, featuring ill-fitting get-ups that make the Choppa Suit look like Savile Row. Too bad none of these dudes will ever make any money.

some bonus ones

40. Didier Drogba's Euro Shit-Kicker Ensemble

Off the field, Drogba's style doesn't have much slippage but this shit right here...THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE is just awful. Props to his mean side-eye that obviously spies some BITER who had the GALL to wear the EXACT SAME impala skull T-shirt that looks way fiercer on your man.

[img:$uid]http://cdn.best.complex.com/assets/galleries/8244/big_didierdrogbalightened.jpg[/img:$uid]

38. Derek Jeter's Tropicana Nightclub Power Suit

Yo Jeter. Desi Arnaz called. He wants his EVERYTHING back. And stop kicking "Babalu" acapella-style to the skeezers on some crooner shit. Nice pocket square, hack.

30. Deion Sanders's Double-Breasted, Pin-Striped Satin Suit

Deion Sanders' wardrobe game is kind of like The Jay Leno Show: a Prime Time failure! Some serious black Max Headroom shit going on right here.

[img:$uid]http://cdn.best.complex.com/assets/galleries/8222/big_sanders-1.jpg[/img:$uid]

28. Jesper Parnevik's Crimes Against Color

This Swedish golf pro is the man responsible for introducing Tiger Woods to his future-jilted-wife Elin Nordegren, and he also made a cameo in Who's Your Caddy. And yet, compared to his “eclectic” shitshow of garish, attention-seeking outfits (hello, purple disco pants!), both were smashing successes.

Funny.....I knew Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman would be on this list.

Sammy Sosa should've been number 1. That was just hideous.

The very first thought that popped in my head about that ghey-dressing buff dude (I don't even know who he is or what he does) was...His date is a bit manly in the hips.

@ the caption.

I wanna know who approved that Kobe photo shoot? Congrats to whoever it was because it made for a lot of funny photoshops.

It's a veritable murderers' row of Big & Tall fuckery

The whole John Rocker caption thing had me crying. He's an ignorant asshat. Here's him talking about New York City:

It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing... The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?

What do you expect from a dude whose parents were brother and sister?

What??

Whoever wrote these is pretty funny. And the Dion Sanders as black Max Headroom quip is spot on!
