Two of the most stylish teams in the league are in the NBA Finals, and they showed out in the tunnel in the first game of the series, as expected.
The NBA Finals are underway, and the Spurs and Knicks brought the heat in the tunnel. It’s an exciting basketball series, but also a great matchup when it comes to tunnel fits. Two of the best teams remain, and these two teams are also among the most stylish squads in the NBA.
Here are our favorite looks from Game 1:
San Antonio Spurs
Harrison Barnes
The Spurs vet means business. He’s suited up for another Finals appearance. Just a custom double-breasted classy suit to enter the arena is pure aura.
Carter Bryant
The Spurs rookie leveled up again in the most important game of his career yet. A Canadian tuxedo worn well, elevated further by the choice of a raw wash. The details matter too as the brown leather bag and the peeking ringer tee with the red-colored neckline.
Devin Vassell
Staying true to the Spurs aesthetic is two-way guard Devin Vassell. Mostly leather, too. He rocked a silver leather jacket and black leather pants. The black tank and silver chain kept the whole thing uniform, just how he fits with the rest of the Spurs players on the court.
De’Aaron Fox
Just a classic work jacket for D-Fox, layered over a base that works for every occasion. Another fit that proves less is more.
Dylan Harper
Another Spurs rookie was fitted. A Home Alone long-sleeve tee with a cross graphic, a piece from PLUS NYC, a streetwear brand. He paired it with light-colored trousers splattered with graphics as well.
Victor Wembanyama
Wemby arrived for his first NBA Finals tunnel walk in a classy fit. Just the proper way to come to work. A well-fitting patterned work jacket over a preppy base.
New York Knicks
OG Anunoby
The Knicks’ glue guy also means business. A pinstripe coords with an all-zipped-up Harrington jacket and a pair of matching pants. Showing two-way dominance on and off the floor.
Mikal Bridges
Less is more, but the pieces are well curated. Chucks will never go away, and pairing them with staples will always work. Bridges rocked a sky-blue button-down and brown straight-fit trousers – just a great pairing overall.
Miles McBride
Deuce brought the heat as well. Realtree camo with “New York Basketball” printed in orange font is just a great touch. He went with the safe and ever-reliable pair of light-wash denim that matched the color of his bag.
Jeremy Sochan
The former Spur turned Knick also came with character. Just a graphic tee turned muscle tee, paired with culotte-style pants and German Army Trainers.
Jordan Clarkson
Perhaps the best-dressed man in this whole series. Another variation of a monochrome fit, with a collarless pinstriped tuxedo paired with all-black pants and shoes. Just on a different planet when it comes to fits. The classic pocket chain that he always rocks was also present.
