Last night, Dirk Nowitzki thought it was the perfect time to run a poll for his Twitter followers.
The Dallas Mavericks forward posted a photo of him wearing an “old school” outfit of his and added that hashtag together with “class of '98.”

The Twitterverse was quick to notice the similarity it had with Tim Duncan‘s fashion style, and Nowitzki was instantly made aware of it. They also had a field day on how his outfit looked on him. Here are some of the funniest reactions and troll comments from his fans, including his former teammate's in Chandler Parsons.

@swish41 Mail those clothes to Russell Westbrook, then film his reaction and post it on the web.

Based on the replies he received, it's clear no one was a big fan of what he wore, and it won't be a bad idea if he decides to never wear it again. However, he may still want to keep it for a throwback or '90s themed party he may attend in the future.
