Back in the 2000s, Allen Iverson became one of the most influential icons in the NBA, not just because of his mesmerizing game and attitude, but also because of his apparel and how he handled himself off the court.
Iverson’s hip-hop influence was so prominent in NBA circles that the league actually had to establish a dress code for players, forcing them to dress up nicely.
Some players took that to heart and have now tried and become fashion icons, with Russell Westbrook and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander constantly participating in runaway and fashion events.
However, as tough as the competition for the “best dressed NBA player” might be right now, former NFL star Brandon Marshall believes Tyler Herro should get that distinction, adding that it’s not even close.

The former New York Jets wideout praised Herro for the fit and how he put it together, and put an end to the discussion right away.
There’s no denying that Herro has made a name for himself for his taste in fashion and clothing, almost as much as he’s been known for his shot-making skills.
Fashion business aside, the Miami Heat could definitely use Herro back on the court for the remainder of the NBA Finals.
He was expected to suit up for Game 3 after missing most of the postseason with a fractured hand but ultimately had to sit out again.
Herro is the Heat’s second-leading scorer and they could use a helping hand — no pun intended — to try and keep up with the Denver Nuggets’ offensive expertise.
Until then, he’ll have to settle with showing off his outfits.
