Fashion has become a popular trend around the NBA the past couple of years and the this generation of rookies are following suit.
Oklahoma City Thunder superstar, Russell Westbrook has been known for his crazy outfits.
Back in 2005, then NBA commissioner David Stern implemented a dress code for the entire league and also for the NBA G League. This was a year after the league's most famous brawl, The Malice at The Palace.

Fans love seeing players express themselves through fashion. In today's day and age of social media, whatever a player is wearing, it can get people talking about it.
If there was an award for the best dressed NBA player, a number of them would get really into it. Wendell Carter Jr. has a bright future with the Bulls, and he'll surely put together plenty more interesting outfits in the years to come.
