Commissioner David Stern implemented a dress code in the NBA which unknowingly changed the league forever and the way athletes dress.

What some were upset about and what initially looked like it may have backfired has turned into something bigger than a dress code itself.

This doesn't mean all NBA players come to work with a full double-breasted suit on and a pair of gators to boot. It brought the unintended consequences of fashion into the league. Some of the NBA's best-dressed players have been featured on the cover of GQ magazine, and fashion designers' work has been featured more than ever since jeans and t-shirt combinations were outlawed.

One of the best or worst dressed players depending on your taste is Russell Westbrook, who loves to wear bold looks, at times seems to not care what he has on when he comes to show off his own style.

He has gotten so involved with fashion modeling for Calvin Klein, working with Barney's New York, visiting fashion week in Paris, influencing other players to get creative, and now he's ready to take things a step further.

Westbrook will become the first NBA player to launch his own streetwear line with his debut “Honor the Gift” which reflects his self-belief and dedication to the gift given to him.

The Thunder guard's unisex clothing line named the Collection 001, and influenced by the youth of the 1990's was recently sold in an Oklahoma City body shop for the first time, and the man himself was there with his message.

My humble beginnings started here. I’ve been conceptualizing the idea [for] many years and felt it’s time for me to launch my own brand with my own messages. Honor the Gift is a brand of self-belief and dedication to honor the gift ‘he’ has given you, shaped into different product offerings that represent a personal promise to challenge all and achieve greatness no matter the hardship.

The clothing line consists of streetwear such as neon T-shirts, ticking-stripe sweatpants, race car graphics, leisure wear and fleece.

It was Westbrook's idea to make the line uni-sex due to his style but to also make something for everyone.

Streetwear has always been about comfort. I wanted a collection that both males and females can get into.
