Baller Alert: Is This the 2018 NBA Awards or the NBA Fashion Awards?

I don’t know much about sports, but what I do know is that NBA players have been getting really adventurous with their outfits lately.

Case in point: At the 2018 NBA Awards on Monday, there were plenty of players in the building, but while many likely need to stick to their basketball careers, a lot of them looked like they were shooting their shot at a fashion career.

I’m not sure if I love it or hate it, but he tried. [Editor’s note: It was a floral trench and pants, and my hate is confirmed. —Maiysha]

Chris Paul, also of the Houston Rockets, looked good in his red-and-black houndstooth-print suit—one of my fave looks of the night.
