It’s not a surprise that now, the world’s best menswear is being modelled by NBA athletes and fashion houses are out on a limb to dress the league’s stars.

Be it Courtney Lee of the Memphis Grizzlies, James Harden of the Houston Rockets, Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat, Chris Paul of the LA Clippers or Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers- they all wear their fashion on their sleeves.
