The NBA season is over, so I guess we’ll just stop discussing hoops.

Buckle up! We’ve got a loaded edition of Out Of Bounds today with the best off-the-court activity in the NBA world. ‼️

Today’s Lineup

🔥 Best NBA Draft Day ‘Fits

The NBA Draft is one of our favorite days of the year, because we get to watch dreams come true as each kid hears his name called.

It’s also become the basketball world’s best and biggest fashion show. Who stood out the most?

Jeremiah Fears gets our vote for best draft day outfit. The newest New Orleans Pelican wore an all-maroon checkered Gucci suit. His “Zero Fears” necklaces are so cold, plus we love the inner lining of his jacket featuring dozens of family photos!

Collin Murray-Boyles looked like the 4th Corleone brother with his pinstriped suit, though we don’t remember any 6’7” mobsters in the Godfather trilogy.

Do you have thoughts on this Carter Bryant outfit? Suit jacket with no shirt is a little bold for us, but Bryant wins the day with the writing stitched into his suit. Not only are his family’s names embroidered into the double-breasted jacket’s interior, but his suit mirrors his tattoos which have special meanings.

On his left sleeve reads “ilaya,” an expression his mom says to him meaning “I love all your atoms.” On his right arm sleeve is an infinity symbol as well as an audio symbol for love, as his grandparents are deaf.

Rocking some slouch socks, shorts, and Dr. Martens, Tre Johnson definitely wins the boldest award. We were getting Trae Young flashbacks, but we’re sure Tre would love to achieve the success Young has enjoyed as a fellow small guard.

🏆 OKC’s Championship Celebration

The 2025 OKC Thunder have the second-youngest championship roster in history, only behind the 1977 Portland Trail Blazers led by Bill Walton. Let’s just say, it shows. 😂

In the locker room after their Game 7 victory, Alex Caruso, often referred to jokingly as the only adult on the team, was the only person who knew how to pop champagne. 🍾 That’s a life skill he picked up popping bottles with LeBron in the bubble!

The championship parade looked LIT, with the team even getting off the bus to mingle with the crowd. Aaron Wiggins not only saved basketball, but also delivered a HYPE speech that got the fans fired up.

Lastly, a moment of appreciation for Shai’s instagram caption. People joke that the MVP will cross you up and then post something like “put the pretender in a blender, I’m the contender.” Well, Shai did not disappoint. Click to check out the FMVP’s rhyming verse caption: ⬇️

Jeremiah Fears choosing the number zero makes his “Zero Fears” jersey a cool play on words. This made us wonder: is that the best play on words on an NBA jersey out there?

Our other contender would be the Lakers’ Dalton Knecht, who rocks the number four. Remember Connect 4? That game went triple platinum in 1st grade.

But the all-time champ might still be Paul Millsap in the NBA Bubble. Back when players could wear a political message above their name, Millsap chose “Vote.” With his number 4 jersey, it read: “Vote 4 Millsap.” Is he the man to unify our country?
