Most of us follow the NBA for crazy dunks and late game winners. But behind the scenes you can find the most stylish athletes this world has to offer and the tunnel that leads to NBA teams’ locker rooms seems almost like a red carpet.

NBA is the home of signature sneakers but we decided to give you a list of NBA Fit Gods that run the fashion game in the league, past and present.

1.

Russell Westbrook

This guy really does it on and off the court. It’s really hard to say if his fashion game is as strong as his game on the court, he really is one of the few players that can do them both on the same night on a regular basis. Collaboration with Acne Studios and his own project Honor The Gift shows that he has a lot to offer even designing wise, clean designs for everyday wear and more radical looks for the people that like to stand out. Various different style of outfits shows that he really belongs to this list.

2.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

He has not been in the league for long, but he is already one of the most stylish guys the league has to offer. Shai’s style is more radical than others for sure. A lot of different patterns and colors mixed with the most hyped up shoes. Really fly style and he knows it, ”You can try and ride my wave, but you’ll never see my boat”. Psst, Shai’s been rocking Finland’s very own Jimivain’s Jordan 1 customs aswell.

3.

Nick ”Swaggy P” Young

If you don’t know about this man yet, now is a good time to dig up some old pictures and videos of him. Great character with a wild range of fits. Was giving PJ Tucker a good fight of who should be the actual king of sneakers in the NBA, playing in Yeezy 750’s and 500’s for example. Hes not a active player anymore but he really left his footprint to the league style wise. Nick Young and Russell Westbrook are really the guys that made dressing up to the games a real thing, and we should feel grateful for that. He also have a own clothing brand called Most Hated Player that offers good cuts and prints.

PJ Tucker

THE sneaker king of the NBA. But sneakers are not the only thing he can pull off, people that follow him closely know that this guy really does know how to dress aswell. Mostly colorful outfits to fit his sneaker choice of the day, but shows off some smart and casual kind of style from time to time too. But still, sneakers first, always.

5.

Terry Rozier

Unbelievable player on the court, but his fashion game is top class aswell. People were discussing if his sneaker deal with Puma Basketball would limit his style, but after that he has still kept his level of outfits near perfect. Mostly baggy fits with great layering and color choices gives us a look of what streetwear really is about.

6.

Dwayne Bacon

Charlotte Hornents guard has impressed us on the court on a few occasions already, but his outfits impress us on weekly if not daily basis. Clean outfits mixed with designer and streetwear pieces. Mixing Louis Vuitton and Jordans could easily look cringy but he pulls it off with ease.
