If you haven’t noticed by now—and really, you’d have to be blind to miss Russell Westbrook walking around in stuff like this!—NBA players enjoy wearing all kinds of crazy pre-game outfits these days. And while Draymond Green doesn’t necessarily take as many risks as, say, the aforementioned Russ, he does take one every now and then before a game. It kind of comes with the territory in 2017 if you want to be considered an NBA star.
Green also seems to realize the ridiculousness of some of the outfits that guys pull out of their closets nowadays. Because recently, he was asked to take part in a new ESPN "This Is SportsCenter" commercial alongside SportsCenter anchors Steve Levy and John Buccigross, and he was more than happy to help The Worldwide Leader in Sports poke some fun at the players who go off the deep end when they get dressed for a game.
The spot starts with Green walking into a building and past a security guard while wearing a stylish outfit, which doesn’t really seem all that out of the ordinary. But before long, Levy and Buccigross both follow, and...yo, what are you guys wearing? Is that a mesh shirt, goggles, and earmuffs, Bucci?
Yes, yes, and yes. That is what he’s wearing and he looks crazy—and yet, you can almost see Russ or Draymond showing up to a game in something similar.
You can check out the clip above. Where do you think it falls on the list of all-time great This Is SportsCenter commercials?
