If you don’t watch the NBA, that’s fine – we can still be friends. But you’re missing out on one very awesome thing …
This man’s impeccable taste in fashion.
Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder is perhaps best known by the casual observer for this,

You have to be one of the best point guards in the game to pull off borrowing heavily from Jimmy Buffett Parrothead style. Or just not care at all. ‘Why Not’ is sort of a personal philosophy for Russell, an expression frequently associated with his Twitter account.
Russ, it’s the PLAYOFFS. Everyone is wearing custom suits! Are you really gonna wear that out?
“Why not?”
Brooks, baby – you’re a professional athlete. You make millions of dollars. You don’t need to buy your shirts from a blind tailor.
“Why not?”

“Why not?”
Russell Westbrook’s style is no stranger to criticism.
“I’ve got one word for you: Garanimals.” ~ Shaquille O’Neal
“Well, at least we know they got a TJ Maxx in Oklahoma City.” ~ Charles Barkley
“I know he wears a lot of weird shit. It’s a generational thing.” ~ Kobe Bryant

Why not?
Because all of his shirts are busy saying this.
