Dennis Schröder might have the best style on the Thunder, at least according to teammate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but Chris Paul has been bringing his A-game as well, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.
CP3 tops the latest edition of The Athletic’s NBA Style Power Rankings, released Wednesday.
Wosney Lambre credits Paul’s ranking to “his donning of Jerry Lorenzo’s much-anticipated Fear Of God collaboration with the late great Nipsey Hussle’s Marathon Clothing Company”.
“But Paul didn’t stop at his Nipsey tribute, the future HOFer waltzed through Chesapeake Energy Arena dripped and draped in a posh Pyer Moss pinstriped jacket with a funky Ambush hoodie that evoked streetwear classic Miskeen, all while staying true to his early season dedication to remaining as cozy as possible in blue windbreaker pants.”
Paul may be heading toward the end of his playing career, but his style game is still going strong.
Gilgeous-Alexander, who credited Schröder for wearing a “fur coat” during shootaround prior to the Thunder’s game against Indiana Tuesday, also came in on the list, landing at No. 8.
Dubbed ‘Pants Pants Revolution’ by Lambre, SGA’s “dedication to having the NBA’s grooviest trouser collection since Jack Ramsay stalked the sidelines is awe-inspiring.”
Maybe point guard play isn’t the only mentoring that Paul is providing to Gilgeous-Alexander in Oklahoma City.
