Hey, guys. Noticed that Kobe has some good style. Any idea where he shops?

kobe does not have style ... unless you consider style oversized jeans and oversized jackets.

unfortunately, the GQ shots you have seen are not the norm.

i'm too dumb to do this ... but someone should post pix of d-fish's post-game interview (the podium one). looked really sharp, and not just for a baller.

The man is pretty huge. I can't see a normal suit fitting him OTR. I bet there is some "tailor to the stars" all the nba guys use.

When I was at Richard Lim's LA Tailor Shop, High Society, he showed me a few recent-looking pictures of him fitting Kobe for some great looking suits. Another High Society customer (and styleforum poster) told me that Lim made him a pair of slacks out of the same fabric that Kobe had apparently been photographed in for the LA Times (obviously not the unfortunate photo shoot that you are all referencing).

I actually kind of liked the sweater Kobe was wearing in the post-game conference after Game 2. It seemed to fit well, but I only saw the top half. I've never seen an athlete that is much of a style icon though

Kobe does dress pretty sharp. As a big NBA fan (and fashion connoisseur), I enjoy seeing them at press conferences or off the court. All these guys are young and rich, so they dress like it. Also, I'm sure all of Kobe's stuff is bespoke (or at least MTM) and he overpays some stylist for most of his looks. In fact, I used to know the name of Dwayne Wade's stylist (he's known for some pretty loud/ chic outfits), and I can go look it up if anybody wants it. If you'll allow me to cross-reference, here's a thread I made on an NBA forum about the best dressed players: http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=138419
