The Dallas Mavericks may have won the NBA Finals last night, but we want to talk about style. Teh Mavs clearly held it down on the court, however, the Miami Heat keep us on our toes when it comes to fashion—especially LeBron James and Dwayne Wade.

Yeah yeah, we can go on about stats, poor sportsmanship, and crying, but we're going to compare LeBron and D-Wade's postgame 'fits. The postgame press conferences gave us side-by-side comparisons of the player's sartorial choices, from Finals games 1 through 6, so we can scrutinize their looks. They may have lost the championship, but let's see who wins in our Style Wars: LeBron James vs. Dwayne Wade!

The Dallas Mavericks may have won the NBA Finals last night, but we want to talk about style. The Mavs clearly held it down on the court, however, the Miami Heat were the more interesting team when it comes to fashion—especially LeBron James and Dwayne Wade.

Game 2

WHERE: NBA Finals Game 2, Post Game Press Conference

WHEN: June 2
Complex Says: LeBron looks classic in a timeless tan suit, but Dwyane's yellow and navy combo with the green pocket square is the winner here.

game5

WHERE: NBA Finals Game 5, Postgame Press Conference

WHEN: June 9
Complex Says: D-Wade kept it classy in the black sweater with a white shirt and black checkered tie. LeBron passed up the traditional collared shirt and tie to go with the breton stripes. Even though it's always nice to change things up a bit, D-Wade has the better look here.


game6

WHERE: NBA Finals Game 6, Postgame Press Conference

WHEN: June 12
Complex Says: At the last postgame interview of the Finals, LeBron looked stylish in his blue suit, pink shirt and grey tie combo. D-Wade looks sharp in a classic tan suit, but we're giving this one to LeBron because it takes real man courage to wear pink.

LeBron beats Dwyane 4 to 2 in our Postgame Style War! Still no ring, though, fellas. Sorry!
