Aside from on-court performances, the “arena arrival” has turned into a spectacle as players show up in their best fits and give us a sneak peak as to what shoe they might rock that night. Ultimately, players get to let their swagger talk before the ball tips-off.<\/p>\n

The NBA’s fashion renaissance has turned the arena arrival into the red carpet.<\/p>\n

Kelly Oubre Jr.<\/strong>, revered as one of the best-dressed individuals in the league<\/a>, is no stranger to the bright lights as he walks into the building. Although we featured what he wears on the court<\/a> last week, Oubre Jr. gave us a closer look into his personality and the bravado that transcends into his outfits in a recent convo.<\/p>\n

We caught up with the Phoenix Suns forward at the annual Jump Ball Gala that features a silent auction, a dinner and an appearance from the team as they raise money for local charities in the Valley of the Sun.<\/p>\n

Take a look below at what the man with the most drip in the league had to say about balling in Kobes and signing with Converse.<\/p>\n

Playing in Kobes<\/h1>\n

Oubre Jr.<\/strong>: It\u2019s about the comfort level for me. The lightness of some of those Kobes and KDs is beautiful.\u00a0To be honest, I feel like I can fly on the court when I wear low-tops.<\/p>\n

Signing with Converse<\/h1>\n

Oubre Jr.<\/strong>:\u00a0Look at my fit — but it\u2019s nothing compared to what\u2019s on my feet. That\u2019s the Converse. It ties everything together for me. It\u2019s that extra drip out of the water. It\u2019s a blessing to be a part of that.<\/p>\n

Who’s Fresher — Wave Papi or Book?<\/h1>\n

Oubre Jr.<\/strong>:\u00a0I have to go with myself. You know, I was humble over there [in Washington]. Booker is a fresh ass guy \u2014 I\u2019ll give him that. But, I\u2019m going to say me because I put it all together and I’m passionate about that.<\/p>\n

His Chemistry with the Phoenix Suns<\/h1>\n
\"\"

Oubre Jr.<\/strong>: Meshing with the team has been pretty easy. There\u2019s a lot of great individuals on this team. A lot of great guys on that court. It\u2019s been pretty easy to come to this situation and thrive. I\u2019ve been welcomed with open arms.<\/p>\n

Make sure to follow the Tsunami Papi on Instagram<\/a> for more quality fits.<\/p>\n

Big thanks for Carlos Manzanillo, Sean Gale and\u00a0Mychael Ramirez of the Phoenix Suns for making this possible.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
