With a spread collar and a smaller knot he'd be golden:

I would not call it golden, but not bad for an NBA athlete.

Navy suit that fits + white/black striped shirt + dimpled black tie + blue pocketsquare = golden in a conservative business dress sense. But that combo is not seen often, so props An improvement over this:

The sleeves are a bit off, but props for pick stitching. Monochrome look was also a bit uninventive.

Yeah, in a conversation about his suit? That's crazy talk.

You're wrong about the tie knot, by the way.

I'd say my personal style is often monochromatic. I have more soporific navy/gray/black/brown ties than I'd care to admit. Actually, been thinking of poasting in the tie thread.

Great to see a classy, understated style from an NBA superstar. Credit him for a well-deserved award and a dignified acceptance. (cf. Michael Jordan's HOF speech)
