Considering how much talk surrounds Russell Westbrook’s style choices, it’s no surprise that the 2016-17 NBA MVP is widely-considered the most-fashionable player in the NBA. That begs the question, who are the other current fashion-forward NBA players? Let’s keep it simple by looking at Sports Illustrated’s Most Fashionable Athlete List for 2017. There were five NBA players in the magazine’s top 20 list.
1. Russell Westbrook
2. LeBron James
3. Dwyane Wade
4. Andre Iguodala
5. Carmelo Anthony
The issue wasn’t lacking NBA players by any measure.
