Sure we all remember Richard “Rip” Hamilton’s face mask, but could there be a new
wave of interesting face wear for NBA players?  When you think of basketball you don’t usually think of fashion, but a few NBA players have decided to show off more trendy sides.  The geek chic trend is a great popular look right now, it has been an “in” thing for quite some time now.  I don’t know about you but that’s one trend I hope NEVER fades, because I look fabulous in some thick plastic framed glasses and a cardigan.

Russell Westbrook, not only a Oklahoma City Thunder point guard, but also a new NBA trendsetter.   He’s known for things like his infamous fishing shirt and of course his geek chic, uber nerd style eye wear.  His most famous pair of geek chic glasses are the fire engine red frames, he first showed these off on a bus tour during the regular season, these glasses are lens-less although his teammates say you could hardly tell they were lacking in the lens department.

Some people think that fashion and sports shouldn’t be mixed, I feel that NBA players showing off a more trendy side is just a new way for them to have fun.  With the overtake of hipsters nowadays there is bound to be SOME that are professional athletes.  Comment on this post and let me know what you think about these trends started by NBA superstars.  Should they be more professional about what they wear at work? OR is it nice for fans to be able to see their more human side, and what trends they like to follow?
