But all of the players arriving in matching suits created an unfortunate fashion statement \u2014 \u201cthe Cavs\u2019 are the best-dressed underachievers in the NBA\u201d \u2014 especially after they unraveled in the second half of a 92-90 defeat like an off-the-rack suit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">LeBron has the power, maybe even the right, to dress his teammates like a mother might dress her boys for a holiday card picture, or like a groom might dress his groomsmen.
