2017 NBA DRAFT
June 22 | Brooklyn, New York
If you think rookie basketball players don’t mind how they look during draft season, well, you are wrong; they are about to be hired, after all. This year’s NBA draft happened at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and the attendees showed off their own style outside their jersey uniforms. Suffice to say, there were a lot of bowties.

The season’s overall first pick Markelle Fultz from the University of Washington wore dress shoes made out of basketball, and a light gray suit with a lining printed with images of his playing moments and the hashtag #F2G, a play on his motto “Faith to the Grind.” Second pick Lonzo Ball, who went to Los Angeles Lakers, had paired his all-black ensemble with Versace loafers before changing into a pair of sneakers from his father’s young clothing brand Big Baller Brand, done in the Lakers’ colorway of gold and purple. The sneakers were up on the brand’s website hours after the show.
