A very underrated plot is that when NBA players retire from the league, they often also retire from their sneaker deals. In November, Swaggy claimed that if it weren’t for him signing a deal with the three stripes, he would have been the sneaker king of the league.

So here he is, on the roof of a Ford Bronco, in probably 80 degree weather, fully-kitted, celebrating his right to wear Nike Air Force 1 “Rodman” Lows.

This is Devonte Graham, a Charlotte Hornets employee, preparing to ask his employer (Michael Jordan) for a raise. The second-year guard averaged 18 points per game while only making under $1.5 million this year, and isn’t a free agent until 2021.

Naturally, he’s flattering his boss by re-creating Jordan’s iconic Barcelona fit, and supporting the local Jordan Brand small business side-hustle by rocking one of only 8,500 pairs of the Dior x Jordan Is which retailed at $2,000.

Underpaid NFL running backs throw fits, underpaid NBA players throw FITS.

This is hard! Big restricted comments energy. Jordan Clarkson said this picture is for ME. You can keep your thoughts to yourself.

Also—not to make things weird but this feels like the NBA fit pic version of a no-pants Zoom call.

Okay so you’re telling me that it’s just a coincidence that Kyle Kuzma drives a car that gives the most visibility humanly possible to what he’s wearing.

Can anyone confirm he had the car before quarantine? Or did he just sort by “Maximum Fit Visibility” on Cars.com—and click purchase?

24/7 head-to-toe visibility aspirations from here out. Our king, we salute you.

If you believe that what truly makes a fit go is the transparency of the wearer’s personality, it’s important to first address that Tyler Herro is a self-proclaimed “bucket." The man averaged 13 points per game in his rookie year in Miami, who finessed tweeting “wyd” at Kyle Kuzma’s ex-girlfriend into quarantining with her.

Once you realize that Tyler Herro dresses himself, there is no “too much.” The 20-year-old Wisconsin kid gets to wear a Patek Philippe with a Grateful Dead tee with his own alma mater—Kentucky—Nike Dunks. You don’t have to understand it (we don’t), it’s just something we have to live with.

Andre Jackson isn’t in the league. He’s not even in college yet! He is committed, though, to two things: hooping at University of Connecticut in the fall and bringing vintage heat to the NCAA, apparently.

Consider the throwback UConn jersey and Jordan VIs his letter of intent.

Thus is the power of a truly great fits. A lesson to all you kids out there! Manifest your dreams with what you wear. If you dress for it, the league will come.

Shai’s too crafty to let his commitment to the off-the-shoulder drape be thwarted by a hoodie—he’ll chop the entire shoulder off.

Speaking of YouTube tutorials, he’s also the only guy in the league that can pull off wearing pants made by a YouTuber (@whoisjacov). The rest of the league doesn’t possess the confidence to pair a DIY hoodie with YouTuber pants and potentially bootleg kicks.

After a closer look, the stitching reveals that they are not in fact the Chinatown Prada Chuck Taylors, but instead another DIY project; a custom Converse-type shoe with Prada printed on to them (or an extremely one-of-one only available to Shai that we’ve never heard about or seen).

Alert: Russell Westbrook has established a fit pic wall. Say what you want about Russ in the tunnel, but he’s transitioned to the hallway very smoothly.

He also did not forget who cuts the check. Nike head-to-toe with his signature shoe Why Not Zer0.3 that borrows the Jordan III Black/Cement colorway for this edition. You’ll never, however, catch Russ borrowing swag from someone else.

Fit pic so potent he had to stay anonymous. We see the high-low vision here though, Terry Rozier.

An intentionally low-res picture really captures the high-low essence here. Ripped jeans but embroidered, old white tee but vintage from ABC Vintage, black and white Bapestas, in a Miami mansion with art statues and a hallway longer than six Brooklyn apartments.

We can’t go higher than you, Terry, but we might be able to go lower!

The Hypebeast Your Girl Told You Not To Worry About™ is back—and it’s Lebron James!

I think there should be a clause though, that you can conspicuously stack logos as long as they’re your own. And in this case, we’re fans of Lebron’s Klutch collabing with Chinatown Market. The Off-White bag though, has to go.

Also, leave it LeBron to take a socially-conscious, mask-on fit pic—even at home.

Nothing hits harder than a fit that talks back.

At the start of quarantine many blog boys speculated, tongue-in-cheek, about which players would gain the most weight on the other side. “James Harden” was a very common answer on the Twittersphere.

So while in this picture he’s simply rocking the adidas training starter pack, Harden is packing a punch.

What’s that Rick Owens line in his “10 Rules of Style” about how no outfit is going to make you look as good as being in shape? Didn’t know Harden was a Rick Owens guy.
