Some of the fan reactions mentioned that they saw Russell Westbrook or even Kyle Kuzma in this kind of attire.

Westbrook and Kuzma are known as two of the NBA's most fashionable and flamboyant individuals. There are fans and even media personnel who have laughed at their choices of attire fits. They sometimes have gone viral with the outfits they showcased on pregame tunnel walks.

Looking back on the time LeBron James wore a suit with shorts to Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals

Despite the 124-114 overtime loss to the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals, James' 51-point effort and his attire didn't go unnoticed.

James entered and exited the Warriors' arena wearing a suit and shorts. There were some fans who were confused with the decision to go with shorts instead of pants or slacks.

It was found out that the suit was designed by Thom Browne, a fashion designer who pairs suits with shorts.

Besides James, the rest of the Cavaliers team wore Thom Browne suits during playoff road games. Former Cavaliers coach Ty Lue talked about it and found the whole team routine as "a sign of unity."
