PAPERMAG: Jeremy Lin Should Take Some Style Tips from these NBA Ballers

Now that Jeremy Lin is a bona fide sensation, he's got to step up his style game -- even other NBA players are dissing the guy's sartorial sense and nobody should be wearing Adidas shower shoes with socks past the age of 17. All a signature look takes is a big dose of individualism, a good stylist or a dinner date with Anna Wintour at Waverly Inn, which is why we've assembled a list of the 12 most fashionable dudes in the league (past and present) whose style ought to rub off on the rookie.

Also below, PAPERMAG plays Jeremy Lin Paper Dolls and dresses him up in some of our top choices for Fall/Winter '12 menswear straight off the runway.
