Having flow off the court is a rule of thumb in the NBA. Some players do better than others in the field and League Fits – the lifestyle component of SLAM magazine – had organized a fan poll to vote for the best-dressed boys in the Big League. It’s all All-Star Game style, with a major five for each conference. Spoiler: Jaylen Brown won’t start on the bench.
If some NBA players only give relative importance to textiles and fine linen when they show up for a game, others apply themselves just as much as on the field to show that their good taste is also developed. than their basketball. This is now the rule for all franchises: a little review of the outfits of each member of the troop before each match, all sent with great fanfare on social networks. What of course to make basketball fans react but also fashion lovers.
The exercise is anything but easy, make no mistake about it. Russell Westbrook is also one of the greatest practitioners. For better… and sometimes for worse, a little dedication when he arrived in a yellow vest at a game. All that was missing was the warning triangle and the smell of burnt tires to believe in a car that ended up in the ditch. Others play the card of sobriety, while not forgetting to flex a little bit with a small pair in collaboration with a certain rapper from Houston or a French haute couture house for example.

All that – long – introduction to get to this League Fits fan poll. The goal? Create a kind of All-Star Game of swag by electing the five best-dressed players from each conference. The replacements are also mentioned, just to create a little debate. Come on, we’re sending the results right away.
So Jerami Grant, Jarred Vanderbilt, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jordan Clarkson and Karl-Anthony Towns are the West’s starting five when it comes to undermining. Always constant flow night after night and a wardrobe that must be the equivalent of two football stadiums in terms of length, the key to success. Note that the vox populi highlights unstructured looks, which is not too complicated for Vanderbilt and Towns since it generally follows the sporting logic of Wolves. Sobriety in terms of colors is also a must, you don’t really need to be flashy to attract flashes.
In the East, impossible to compose without Kyle Kuzma in the five. Logically, the man surprises us every evening with sweaters stolen from a giant. He is accompanied in the five by Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, the duo as good at matching clothes as they are at stringing strings. All that remains is to mention Tyrese Haliburton and Antetokounmpo, Thanasis of his first name. The Greek family has assets in all areas, and the starving brother of Giannis’ playing time undoubtedly allows him to go do a lot of shopping.
The replacements? James Harden and his Dunkirk carnival-style jacket, but also Gary Trent Jr’s poncho and Kelly Oubre’s leathery rockstar look. Outfits all well asserted, at the same time why deprive yourself. The level is not always the same on the field, but these guys have fully understood that the NBA is not just a league, but a way of life. Which of course involves flex in front of the lenses.
