Stars showed out in the tunnel with statement fits to open the NBA 2026 Conference Finals.
The Game 1s of the NBA Conference Finals 2026 were must-see TV. Elite basketball was on full display, and the stars showed out. In the tunnel it was the usual suspects making noise, rocking fits that were just as elevated as their game just in time for the biggest stage.
Here are some of the best fits to open this year’s NBA Conference Finals.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
No one really rocks their signature basketball sneakers casually better than SGA. The two-time MVP walked into the tunnel in an all-white outfit featuring a white Chanel mini bag, but what completed the look was the debut of the “Slither” colorway of the Shai 001s.
Donovan Mitchell
Just a relaxed and easy fit. Spida walked into Game 1 in a matching Rhude set. The navy blue colorway blended perfectly with the white tank top and sneakers that Mitchell rocked. A simple but nonetheless elevated fit.
Stephon Castle
It looked like Castle pulled up in a full vintage fit before Game 1 — a classic light-wash denim pairing matched perfectly with a vintage Harley long-sleeve tee featuring flame graphics on the sleeves.
Lu Dort
Dort is sneakily one of the nicest dressers in the tunnels. The rugby shirt was the statement piece, with the colors popping immediately. The graphic also represented Dort’s roots, as he did only represented a brand, but also his Haitian parents.
Victor Wembanyama
You just knew Wemby was about to drop a masterclass with this fit. Before putting up a dominant 40-point, 20-rebound performance in Game 1, he arrived in an all-black pinstriped suit. The suit, shirt, and pants all matched seamlessly. A statement fit before a statement game on the biggest stage.
Jalen Williams
J-Dub really curated the pieces in this outfit well. Crafted with intent. The two-tone penny loafers and classic blue overshirt kept things classy and minimal, allowing the vintage ‘Sweet, Sassy’ Janet Jackson tee to stand out. The shirt currently resells for at least $200.
