Overview
Each chapter exploresĀ the style ofĀ an eraĀ and the cultural influences that shaped it: The leagueās inception in 1949, pre-CivilĀ RightsĀ Movement,Ā when the NBA was mostlyĀ comprised ofĀ white players who wore suits and skinny ties. The years following the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the birth of funk and R&B when basketball fashion got flashier (think WaltĀ āClydeāĀ Frazier and Wilt Chamberlain wearing fur coats and big hats). The Michael Jordan era of theĀ 1980s andĀ 1990s, with its oversize suits.Ā The epic Iverson/Hip-HopĀ yearsĀ of the late 1990s and earlyĀ 2000s.Ā And now to today, a timeĀ defined not only byĀ social media and high fashionāsĀ birthingĀ ofĀ theĀ tunnel walkĀ (think LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Russell Westbrook), but one in which athletes are idealized as style icons and activists, figures who inspire conversations beyond how they play and what they wear.
