The Raptors are the NBA’s scarf All-Stars

Serge Ibaka and OG Anunoby are trend setters.

Serge Ibaka and OG Anunoby are trendsetters, y’all. If the NBA had a first-team All-Fashion (which they probably should?), they’d both make the roster.

Look no further than their own team for proof. Before they had their little dust up about who put who on to the scarf game — which is a very important discussion, by the way — I hadn’t seen nary a single scarf in Toronto.

Now, ALL WE SEE ARE SCARVES. The team’s Twitter account has basically turned into a scarf stan account — not exactly a terrible way to be but definitely a swerve we were not expecting.

Here’s Canada’s most fly scarf models on their team plane.

Great, great picture. Lots of scarves, lots of warmth. But, yo, somebody let me know what Kyle Lowry is doing here. Bruh.

Anyway, here they are getting off the team plane. Look. At. These. Looks. This is the energy I aspire to have when I wake up each and every day.

They even got Nick Nurse on board! Sheesh. That scarf game is crazy, fam.

Jovan Acree says his “rags-to-riches” story was born after a failed tryout for the New York Knicks. Acree played in the semi-pros — but often found himself sleeping on couches — for over a decade. “Everybody was like, ‘You need to get a job . . . It’s time for you to move on,’ ” Acree, 37, said. “I was like, ‘I’m really going to make it to the pros. So I’m going to keep trying!’ ” But after missing his chance with the Knicks in 2016, he launched his luxury fashion brand, Daekshinco. His denim has now been worn by stars such as Tiffany Haddish, Lil Pump and Cardi B.

Russell Westbrook has ‘zero regrets’ about his time in OKC

Westbrook wore a sweatshirt that said ‘Zero Regrets’ when he walked into Chesapeake Energy Arena ahead of Thursday night’s game vs. OKC.

Russell Westbrook has always been one to make a statement.

Especially when it comes to his fashion.

So it’s no surprise that the Rockets guard took the opportunity on Thursday to send a message to his former organization through the shirt he wore when walking into Chesapeake Energy Arena ahead of Houston’s game against the Thunder.

Zero Regrets.

The words emblazoned on the front of Westbrook’s sweatshirt.

And in case there was any question as to their meaning, Mark Medina of USA Today, pointed out was on the back.

On the back of Westbrook’s sweatshirt read: 1 team, 11 seasons, 821 games, 28,330 minutes, 18.559 points, 6.897 assists, 5.760 rebounds, 138 triple doubles, 8x All-Star, 1x MVP and 0 Regrets. Underneath the “No Regrets” tagline on the front of Westbrook’s shirt read: “Thank you Oklahoma City.”

Thursday night was the first time that Westbrook had been back to Oklahoma City since being traded to the Rockets for Chris Paul and draft picks during the offseason.

He received an emotional tribute video prior to the start of the game and then a loud standing ovation from fans when he was announced during starting lineups.

The fans showed that despite his departure for Houston, Westbrook is still loved in the city where he first built his career.

Likewise, Westbrook showed the people of Oklahoma City that there are no hard feelings and that he has zero regrets about the 11 years he spent in OKC.
