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.

The NBA on TNT crew weren’t the only ones to point out Clarkson’s pregame attire, as fans on social media had plenty to say about the unusual aesthetic he was going for.
