The National Basketball Association (NBA), is the greatest basketball league in the world. To be a part of the league would be the ultimate dream for any basketball athlete.

Aside from games, trade talks, and rivalries, the fashion drip sense of athletes makes headlines and has become a big part of the ball game.

2. Kelly Oubre Jr.

For a few years, social media have been noticing the emergence of Kelly Oubre Jr. as a fashion icon in the NBA league.

1. Russell Westbrook

Just like his style of play, Russell Westbrook’s sense of fashion screams boldness and flamboyance. Westbrook tries to stand out by going for daring and unconventional flair. Rather than going for a simpler style of look.

In 2021, Westbrook made headlines after wearing a white skirt matched with black boots at the New York Fashion Week. Despite the backlash, we cannot take away the fact that Westbrook is Sports Illustrated Most Fashionable Athlete in 2017.

While Fashion has always been a part of the league, players are more expressive in today’s generation of athletes. With the power of social media and the NBA’s prominence, the athletes are aware of that more than the attention.

Fashion drips can be a tool to promote brands, attract fans, or send a message to the world.
