Now I’m far from the authority on trendy fashion (works cited: I still wear jean cargo shorts) and I know Russell Westbrook is the NBA’s fashionista, but I am genuinely perplexed by the outfit he wore the the post-game podium after getting a spanking from the Warriors in Game 2 of the West finals.
For a dude whose received an $80 million contract, Russ spoke to the press last night looking like he got attacked by a pack of barracudas. Westbrook is pulling in upwards of $5 million in endorsements alone and he wore my jizz rag on national television. I’ve flipped my undies inside out when I’m outta fresh ones, but I’ve never resorted to wearing a shirt more ripped than me after a grav bong. I don’t know, maybe it’s cool in Europe? Don’t get me wrong, Russell pulls off the jizz rag top with the best of ’em. People would hand you and I change on the street if we tried rocking this.
It’s all in the strut.

NBA commentators were equally as baffled.
Russell Westbrook wore the old shirt from my parents garage I used to use to clean up after changing my oil. https://t.co/HLujNPh9fZ

Russell may one of the only people on the planet who can dress like a high school sociopath and still look fresh as fuck.
