The NBA pre game runway has become a part of NBA culture ever since Commissioner Stern imposed a league wide dress code in 2005.
Since then NBA Twitter and Reddit point out the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of NBA fashion on a nightly basis; we all know Lebron, Westbrook and Harden but let me introduce you to the real NBA fashionistas.
Rudy Gay
Not just someone who loves to dress up Rudy is also a designer. This past August he launched a kids line named “We Can All Ball”.
Tyson Chandler
A staple at New York Fashion Week when he was with the Knicks, Tyson has a simple yet unique approach to fashion.
Ben Simmons
Simmons won’t be on this list next year (because he will be an All Star not because he will become less stylish)
Jordan Clarkson
At age 25 Clarkson is young enough to know what’s hot and rich enough to afford the best brands. He seamlessly meshes street style and couture fashion.
Kyle Kuzma
Going from Flint to Utah to LA has been an easy transition for Kuzma who always looks ready for Hollywood.
P.J Tucker
Not just the NBAs number #1 sneaker head. PJ knows how to dress for all occasions. It doesn’t hurt having fashionista James Harden on your team for inspiration.
Kelly Oubre Jr.
The NBAs resident Hypebeast. His style is so fresh the NBA trying to band his gear. (See Supreme sleeve ban)
Mike Conley Jr.
The oft injured veteran Conley has always had a unique sense of style. (Wooden hat and wooden bow tie). He was pushing the limits of fashion long before it was trendy.
Chandler Parsons
Handsome Chandler Parsons is better known for his fashion and lifestyle than his on-court exploits. Some of it is due to injuries but a lot has to do with:
Bella Thorne, Kendall Jenner, Toni Garrn, Cristina Perri, Haley Baldwin, Savannah Chrisley and Cassie Amato… google it…
Serge Ibaka
Just an excuse for me to put up a picture of Keri Hilson and Angela Simmons…
