2023 All-LeagueFits Teams
Introducing the highly anticipated 2023 All-LeagueFits Teams awards, celebrating the most stylish and fashion-forward NBA players of the season. From daring color choices to trendsetting accessories, these athletes have shown off their unique sense of style both on and off the court, and we are excited to honor them here.
DEVIN BOOKER
If you’re making a moodboard for the swagless homies, it’s undoubtedly going to have some Devin Booker tunnel flicks on it, and for good reason. Booker’s unmatched aesthetics that brought him the LeagueFits MVP award a year ago are clean, simple and overall affordable. If there’s anyone who has cracked the men’s fashion formula, it’s the Suns shooting guard.

Jarred VanderBilt
Jarred Vanderbilt has been a LeagueFits fan favorite for a few years running while playing in Utah and Minnesota, but he really burst onto the scene (on and off the court) after a trade deadline deal sent him to the Lakers. When the lights are their brightest, he shined and cemented himself as a LeagueFits First Team contender for years to come.
Team
Jerami Grant
Jerami Grant came out of nowhere and carved out one of the most unique, high-fashion aesthetics we’ve ever seen in the LeagueFits era of NBA style. Grant traded in his sneakers for Margiela Tabis, hoodies for Comme des Garçons cloaks and sweats for Rick Owens flares. If there’s anyone to watch attending the offseason’s fashion weeks, it’s Grant.
All-LeagueFits
Appearance
Jordan Clarkson
You can put this one into the record books: Jordan Clarkson is the first player to make the All-LeagueFits First Team in four consecutive seasons and also earn an MVP during that same span. In a League where more and more players are diving deep into the fashion game, it’s a major testament to the consistency, effort and authenticity that Clarkson has brought to every tunnel he’s walked.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
(most Valuable Player)
When it’s all said and done, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander might just be in the running as the best-dressed athlete in sports history. He was our Rookie of the Year and a First Team member in 2019 (he’s still the only player to ever earn both accolades in the same season) and has kept leveling up each season thereafter. He was a unanimous choice between the panel, fans and pod for the First Team and Most Valuable Player award this season, and if we’re being honest, this MVP award was long, long overdue.

D’Angelo Russell
D’Angelo Russell’s basketball journey has led him back to Los Angeles, and his style journey has taken him to the moon (and beyond). The owner of one of the classiest wardrobes in the League, Russell is positioned to help bring the Lakers’ tunnel back to its prime.

Jaylen Brown
(MOST IMPROVED)
Jaylen Brown always sported a bit of steez, but he took it to a brand new level in 2023. Brown narrowed down his aesthetic and perfected it, becoming the League’s king of simple, all-black attire. If anyone was able to prove that less is more, it’s Brown.
All-LeagueFits
Appearance
Kyle Kuzma
If there’s anyone in the League that gets dressed to break the internet, it’s Kyle Kuzma. Kuz’s long history of getting the comments section fired up didn’t slow down at all this season, as he turned the tunnel back into his runway (and we mean that literally, there isn’t a player donning more runway pieces than him).

Russell WestBrook
Every era of Russell Westbrook has proven to be as influential as the one before it. While we still had some notable viral moments (the Christmas kilt was one to remember), this was the season of making Russ’ wardrobe his own—and everyone else’s. Night in and night out, he was the model for his own brand, and soon enough, those pieces found their way on to players across the League.

Tyrese Haliburton
Few players experimented as much as Tyrese Haliburton did this season. After coming into the League and making Nike Dunks, vintage tees and short shorts his staple, he evolved to tunnel combinations we’ve never seen before: Prada loafers, grey sweatpants and a bomber jacket, anyone?
All-LeagueFits
Appearance
of the
year
BOL BOL
Bol Bol’s substantial increase in on-court opportunities also meant a massive increase in tunnel opportunities, and the 7-2 big man did not disappoint. Bol’s LeagueFits stardom had been written ever since he wore a Thugger-designed suit to the NBA Draft, and it’s only right that his long overdue day has come.
All-LeagueFits
Appearance
Thanasis Antetokounmpo
The most stylish brother in basketball’s royal family will have something to boast about at family functions this summer. After being an honorable mention in 2022, Thanasis kicked his tunnel looks up into another gear this year, cementing himself as the best-dressed member of the NBA’s best regular season team in 2023.
All-LeagueFits
Appearance
Karl-Anthony Towns
Karl-Anthony Towns brought a bit of his offseason Hollywood flavor back to Minneapolis this season. The former No. 1 overall pick sported an extensive (and expensive) jacket collection and experimented with accessories we hadn’t seen before.
All-LeagueFits
Appearance
Kelly Oubre Jr
Kelly Oubre Jr’s style has evolved and matured over the years, and his current era might just be our favorite yet. Charlotte isn’t considered the most fashion forward city, but the Wave Papi has managed to lead one of the coolest teams in the League.

MVP
Josh Christopher
There was no sophomore slump from Josh Christopher, who won LeagueFits Rookie of the Year a season ago. Gup was given the style crown by Nick Young when he was still in high school, and it looks like he’s going to keep donning it for years to come as he racks up more and more style accolades.
All-LeagueFits
Appearance
of the
year
Jeremy Sochan
Jeremy Sochan made quite the first impression when he showed up to draft night in a pink suit and pearls, and his momentum hasn’t stalled. With his ever-changing hair color and bold style statements, he’s the first player we’ve seen who can be compared to Dennis Rodman, the unofficial LeagueFits GOAT.
Jalen Williams
(ROOKIE OF THE YEAR)
Oklahoma City, believe it or not, has become the undisputed fashion capital of the NBA, and that position was solidified for the foreseeable future when the team drafted the ultimate sidekick to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, in last year’s draft. With an array of looks mixing flea market finds and high-end designers, “Dub” was a lock for the Rookie Team.
Jaden Ivey
Style should be personal, and Jaden Ivey had a tendency to make it as personal as possible. He took the jerseys of his family members—his mom Niele was a WNBA star and his grandfather, James Hunter, ran the gridiron for the Detroit Lions—and turned them into stylish and heartwarming moments. The Pistons' future is bright, and Ivey’s leading the way on and off the court.
Bennedict Mathurin
The Pacers have been an under-the-radar LeagueFits team for a few seasons now, and Bennedict Mathurin has shown flashes of potential to be the guy who can bring them onto everyone’s radar long-term.
MarJon Beauchamp
It’s important to be cozy, and MarJon Beauchamp perfected looking effortlessly cool and calm at the same time during his rookie season in Milwaukee. As a guy who wasn’t in most preseason LeagueFits Awards predictions, the sky could very well end up being the limit.
JORDAN POOLE
The irony in the #CozyFam award is that it usually goes to the guy who cares about LeagueFits the least. Jordan Poole regularly pulled up to games in team-issued practice shorts, tattered work jackets and worn-in sneakers; the variety wasn’t vast, but the aesthetic was defined. Maybe it was on purpose, maybe it was by accident, but Poole managed to be one of the most engaging players on LeagueFits this season, and he was cozy as heck while doing it.
