There was a lot of attention on the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics on Tuesday night as the new NBA season got started.
The match between the 76ers and Celtics was the kick-off game of the year and it was the first time that fans got to see NBA basketball in months.
It was also a chance for fans to witness the stars of the league in their noteworthy and sometimes ridiculous pre-game outfits.

For years now, NBA stars have gotten a lot of notice for the clothing they wear before games.
The wardrobes are sometimes silly, sometimes suave, and always eye-catching.
Philly star James Harden definitely made an impression on Tuesday night.
Arriving at TD Garden, Harden was looking very comfortable, almost as if he just rolled out of bed and threw on his pajamas.
He was decked out in slippers, a pair of soft pants, and a nice fluffy sweater.
It was a perfect Fall outfit.
Harden Is Healthy & Comfortable
On one hand, you can’t blame Harden for dressing like this because comfort is important, especially when you are going to push your body to its physical limit for four quarters.
At the same time, the outfit only underlines the common stereotypes of Harden: he is lazy, he prefers comfort over everything else, and he isn’t as physically fit as he used to be.
That wasn’t the case on Tuesday night, as Harden played very well and was able to score 35 points in his opening night showing.
It wasn’t enough to get the 76ers over the Celtics but it was a sign that Harden has some fight in him still.
Can he keep it up all season long?
