Out indefinitely with a broken thumb, Bulls guard Rajon Rondo could only watch from the bench in Game 3 of Chicago's first-round series against the Boston Celtics on Friday. And since Rondo is injured, he has to abide by the NBA's dress code, which he certainly took some unique liberties with by wearing a short sleeve blazer.

Rondo may be taking a page from his Bulls teammate Dwyane Wade, who wore a similar look during the regular season. But although Wade first debuted the look, Rondo was still mercilessly mocked on Twitter.
