The hat! The braces! The pose! The bed of letters! Ladies and gentlemen, never has a man looked quite as dorky while taking a photo that is supposed to illustrate how good he is at something. This includes chess masters.
Awkward Score: 15/10 (Still not as bad as the modern Noah, but bad.)
Verdict: Gigantically, hugely, endearingly embarrassing

Bleach! Another look to blame on the boy bands. Pau, Kobe wanted you to be the Black Swan when you were acting like the White Swan. But he wanted me to tell you that he definitely never wants you to be the Yellow Swan.
Awkward Score: 9/10
Verdict: The only thing more embarrassing than this picture is the fact that it's worse than his brother's.

Marc Gasol is one of the best Centers in the NBA, and a defensive force inside. But that doesn't mean puberty wasn't rough on him.
Awkward Score: 8.5/10
Verdict: Hugely (pun-intended) embarrassing.

Andrew Bynum is so young that it's easy to forget that he's been in the league for seven years. A lot can change in seven years. For instance you can stop looking like Fat Albert (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzt79b7kgD1qk4a0ho1_500.jpg).
Awkward Score: 7.5/10

It's unclear if he's wearing a clock around his neck or the Mercedes logo (Edited To Add: or a super blingy version of the Jordan logo). Either way that's a bad look. Either he's literally the biggest Flavor Flav fan that's ever existed or the biggest douchebag. I mean 6 foot 11. That's big.
Awkward Score: 7/10
Verdict: What's on your neck KG?! Don't be a douche. Embarrassing.

Like many young men, Dirk fell for the butt cut. I blame boy bands for making people think this was a legitimate way to style your hair.
Awkward Score: 6.5/10
Verdict: Definitely embarrassing
http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/web04/2012/5/3/15/enhanced-buzz-wide-17866-1336072906-2.jpg
The flat top, mustache combo never looked so good. Unfortunately it also never looked good.
Awkward Score: 6/10
Verdict: Yeah that's embarrassing.

So we have to score these two separately.
LeBron Awkward Score: 4/10 (Look at his still-dominant hairline! Plus he looks pretty uncomfortable next to Melo, though I'm not sure we can blame him (http://www.buzzfeed.com/jpmoore/carmelo-anthony-has-an-awesome-painting-of-carmelo).)
Melo Awkward Score: 6/10 (Pauly D's hair from Jersey Shore. That's all you need to know.)
Verdict: Melo's hair and LeBron's current lack of it has this in the slightly embarrassing zone.

I'm pretty sure that trophy is bigger than Steve. He gets a break though, because this wasn't nearly his most embarrassing look (http://www.blackmarks.net/images/dirksteveold.jpg).
Awkward Score: 5.5/10
Verdict: Slightly embarrassing, because he's a senior in high school and looks 11.
