With Kevin Durant out of the picture for the foreseeable future, Russell Westbrook will have even more opportunities to shoot the basketball. It seems Christmas has come early for the guard. It seems Halloween has also come early.
Here is the getup he wore to the Oklahoma City Thunder’s opening night game in Portland last night. Remember, he’s on his way to a game of hoops and not an audition for futuristic Steve Urkel.
You have to hand it to Westbrook. The pants and shiny jacket will get all the eyeballs but it’s his attention to detail that sets him apart in the sartorial realm. Like, that little man bag really ties the look together. And he also matches the team bus’ side mirrors. Whether he planned that little detail or not is unknown.
Unfortunately for the Westbrook, his team suffered a 17-point loss to the Trail Blazers as soon as he put on his work clothes. Had he worn this out on the court … well, maybe things would have played out differently.
