With the NBA season coming up on Oct. 19 it's the perfect time to take a look at some of the best-dressed players in the NBA. 

Many players have become very interested in fashion and the way they dress before and after games. The tunnels inside of NBA arenas has become like a fashion runway.

Here's our preseason list of the five best-dressed players in the NBA:

1.) Russell Westbrook, Los Angeles Lakers

No list of players who excel in the fashion department can omit Russell Westbrook. The 2017 MVP is a fixture for some of the most creative outfits.

The superstar point guard is entering his third straight season with a new team, after being traded to the Rockets, Wizards and now Lakers. 

Hollywood is the perfect place for him to play.

2.) Jordan Clarkson, Utah Jazz 

Jordan Clarkson is one of the best dressers in the NBA, and while he does not have the notoriety of an All-Star to the casual fan, he is a really good player who won 6th Man of The Year last season. 

After staring his career on the Los Angeles Lakers he was then traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers to play with LeBron James in 2018. 

After the Cavs, he has found a nice home with the Jazz, who were the best regular season team in the entire NBA last season. 

3.) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has become one of the best known dressers in the entire NBA. The 23 year old has a bright future for the Thunder on the court, and he is already a star for his fashion off the court. He was at the Met Gala last month. 

After starting his career on the Los Angeles Clippers, he was sent to OKC in the massive Paul George trade during the summer of 2019.

P.J. Tucker is known for his tenacious defense and sharpshooting from the three-point range. Off the floor he is known for his incredible shoe collection, but Tucker is also one of the NBA's best dressed.

After winning an NBA title with the Milwaukee Bucks last season, he's now down on South Beach to play with the Miami Heat. 

That Miami sunshine will go nicely with a lot of his outfits and shoes.

5.) James Harden, Brooklyn Nets

James Harden, the 2018 MVP, is one of the biggest stars in the entire world for his elite skill on the basketball court, but he is also elite at his fashion.

After starting his career on the Thunder, he blossomed into a superstar with the Houston Rockets for nearly a decade. 

Last season, he was traded in the middle of the season to the Brooklyn Nets.

There is no better place in America for fashion than New York
