We have talked about, you and I, the increasing overlap between fashion and sports. Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder is well known for his flamboyant style and he wants to make it available to everyone with a new clothing line. He is featured on the Fashionable 50 Sports Illustrated Issue according to Hiphop Hollywood.

He tells Sports Illustrated,  "I had the pleasure of sitting down with Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley to pick their brains about the origins of fashion and how it all began. Now, I have my own brand with Barney’s and True Religion. I’ve been able to create this space for myself as a designer while still playing basketball."

I'm happy for him and wish him all the success. 

Big thanks to @SportsIllustrated for putting me on the cover of their #Fashionable50 issue. #fashionking #whynot #donthateonthebrodie
