NBA players have a year-round job: play basketball at the highest level in the world. From elevating their craft in the offseason to playing an 82-game schedule to competing for NBA titles in the spring, players work hard to be the best professional ballers they can be.
But not all NBA action is on the court. Some players put in work to be ballers off the court, too, through the clothes they choose to wear.
With veterans and a new generation of players leading the way, the NBA has become a competitive place in terms of style. Fashion has become a new type of brand-building tool and a powerful way to connect with fans, as players and teams use style to make statements.
These are the most stylish players in the league.
25. DeAndre Jordan
Team: New York Knicks
Position: Center
Rookie debut: 2008
Height/weight: 6’11″/265 pounds
Born: July 21,1988, in Houston, Texas (30 years old)
Bottom line: Good thing NBA players make good coin. Big-and-tall men like DeAndre Jordan don’t find clothes that fit off the rack.
Jordan has cool style, wearing leather jackets. It’s a simpler style compared to the outlandish looks of some other players such as Russell Westbrook and P.J. Tucker.
24. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Team: Milwaukee Bucks
Position: Forward
Rookie debut: 2013
Height/weight: 6’11″/242 pounds
Born: Dec. 6, 1994, in Athens, Greece (24 years old)
Bottom line: The Greek Freak has taken his game to MVP levels, but he keeps it casual off the hardwood. He likes to wear hoodies and a pair of Jordans along with some sweats. He does not dress up in suits or other large bizarre outerwear that other players wear.
23. Tristan Thompson
Team: Cleveland Cavaliers
Position: Center/power forward
Rookie debut: 2011
Height/weight: 6’10″/238 pounds
Born: March 13, 1991, in Brampton, Canada (27 years old)
Bottom line: The big man for the Cavaliers has a clean fashion sense with a variety of different looks, including sweatshirts, suits, jean jackets and many other stylish outfits. However, his style is not quite as clean as a John Wall or Victor Oladipo outfit.
22. Mike Conley
Team: Memphis Grizzlies
Position: Point Guard
Rookie debut: 2007
Height/weight: 6’1″/175 pounds
Born: Oct. 11, 1987, in Fayetteville, Arkansas (31 years old)
Bottom line: Mike Conley wears a wide range of clothes off the court, including hoodies, bomber jackets, joggers, sweaters, suits and more. Like many NBA players, he enjoys fashion and documents many of his outfits throughout the season on his Instagram page.
