What's wrong with looking tight and fashionable?
AS OKLAHOMA CITY marches into the NBA playoffs, questions will swirl around point guard Russell Westbrook. Will he shoot the Thunder to a le, or in the foot? Will he blow up the scoreboard, or just plain blow up? Will he revisit those camo pants from All-Star Weekend, or could he possibly rock Jeggings? Behold the wonder that is the NBA's biggest enigma -- sartorially, too.
First, a bit about Westbrook, the style icon. For the cover story of our Photo Issue, The Mag aimed to run a spread with a fashion-forward athlete who also happens to play a sport pretty well. Enter the NBA's freshest- and, at times, wackiest-dressed employee, a man Kevin Durant likens to Beyonce's alter-ego. "Oh, he's a diva," says Westbrook's co-star for the Thunder. "I call him Sasha Fierce. On the court, he's a fierce compe or. Off the court, he's chilling in front of the mirror, making sure he got the right lip balm on."
Indeed, Westbrook, 24, takes his look very seriously. Rather than employ a stylist, he shops on his own and works his closet like a math problem, mixing bottoms and tops, the louder the better, until an answer emerges. (Typically by the third try.) The key to Westbrook's look, though, is also the key to his game: fearlessness. That's how a 6-foot-3, 190-pound, shoot-first point guard defies the critics, lands a five-year, $80 million deal and winds up as the league's fifth-leading scorer.
Go ahead, call him out -- Westbrook can't hear you. "He don't care what people say when he plays or when he dresses up," says teammate Thabo Sefolosha. Adds Nick Collison: "He does what he likes to do. He knows what he is and he doesn't care what other people want him to be. That's how he plays and that's how he carries himself."
But beyond his sartorial guts, on-court surliness and explosive, play-how-I-wanna-play game, let's face it: We don't know much about Russell Westbrook III. To wit: The "Personal" section of his Wikipedia page consists of two notes. One mentions his fondness for lensless eyewear. The other, oddly, makes it very clear that he is not the cousin of former Eagles running back Brian Westbrook. That's it.

Westbrook is a got for real.
What, that's a sweet shirt! Nothing wrong with rocking a shirt with fishing lures on it.....TBH
Outed by his own teammate.
Yeah I don't understand Russ's choice of wardrobe.
how long til we read about insane meth-fueled orgies at Westbrooks home, with various white boys pumping loads into this ass, doing rails off his cawk?
TBH...I would def sport that outfit in the first article...In fact, if the Spurs make it to the finals, Ima wear that to a playoff game in SA.
I prefer Westbrooks 'I dont give a ' wardrobe than his game tbh.
Blue Steel..

Dumb nickname.
That's an insult to Beyoncé, tbh.
looking nice and fashionable is cool. but this is a very childish sense of fashion, which is fitting for who he is.
i know a lot of people here don't like Kobe, but he dresses in a far more adult-like manner than many NBA players, who choose to dress either like hood-rats or 15 year old hipsters.

Had to be done
Dude's hanging out too much with Magic's kid, tbh...
Kidding, right?
I'd be ashamed to have the thunder players on my home team. What a bunch of fudge packers.
yeah i considered posting it myself, to avoid the inevitable spurfan posting of that, but meh

You gotta understand, Westbrook dresses himself, some people shouldn't dress themselves. Westbrook is one of them
Anything to distract one's attention from his unconscionable chuckery tbh.
That's the ing gayest quote by Durant.
Westbrook seems so suited to be a Laker.
I'd take everything fashion-wise from this forum with a grain of salt. I'd love to see a pic of at least one of you
Russ, doesnt understand that the best clothes are always ones that best fit your image. He looks like a trying hard wanna model...Someone needs to give him a reality check.
Kobe and Tony Parker are the only tow guys that i can think of that chooses the right cloths and can pull off a a "nice look"
