The Oklahoma City Thunder are one of the most exciting young teams to watch in the league. They have several future superstars on their roster, led by First Team All-NBA player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Thunder is currently ranked 5th in the Western Conference standings with a 7-4 winning record. The young OKC squad is even grabbing everyone’s attention off the court with their unique style and drippy outfits.

When a young Thunder sensation was asked who inspires his style on and off the court, he did not think twice before naming Hall of Famer Allen Iverson as his favorite fashion icon.

OKC’s young star is inspired by Allen Iverson

OKC Thunder’s 22-year-old sensation Jalen Williams has proven to be a great young talent for his team. He has shown great promise with his incredible performance this season. Williams has taken a huge leap this year, averaging 17.3 points, 4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. He also loves to make a statement off the court with his fashion sense and cool outfits. When asked who inspires the 22-year-old’s style, J Dub quickly responded, “AI (Allen Iverson) is a good one. I wouldn’t even say I dress like him. I feel like he was wearing whatever he was comfortable in, so that’s what I be trying to do.”

Allen Iverson is one of the most influential athletes in sports history.
