Avant Guard: Russell Westbrook Covers 'Complex' Magazine

I recently blogged about Basketballs very own "Fashion King" - Russell Westbrook's style and love for fashion. Now the point guard is back again on the cover of Complex Magazine, April/May issue.

Of course Complex questioned the OKC Thunder point guard on his off-court fashion and style, read what was discussed below.

On his fearless approach to fashion:

"If you think about what other people say, then you have a problem. When it comes to dressing up, a lot people are worried what others think. You just gotta go with it."

On being a non-conformist:

"I take risks, but I don't think of it that way."

On his Mother's influence on his attraction to clothes:

"That's where it all started... She used to shop for us growing up. But then it got to a point where I was so picky about my clothes that she stopped shopping for me. I had a sense of the style I gravitating to. I worked for I couldn't afford."

On fashion's finer things:

"Some people may be scared to wear something. I obviously don't care."

On wearing glasses with no lens:

"No lenses at all. It's my own flair, man. I know what looks right and what looks crazy."

On having an "eye" for what looks right:

"It's natural for me now. I don't leave the house like, 'Oh, let me get something crazy.' I just go with it and see what happens."

I definitely believe Westbrook, because his fashion flair is a one of a kind! No doubt about it

Mother-to-be and reality TV star Kim Kardashian poses in all white for Middle Eastern magazine Hia. Kim K is battling with a lot right now - especially her divorce to her husband Kris Humphries and now it seems like it's everlasting, seeing as she filed for divorce up to two years ago after their 72 days of marriage. Kim is pregnant for her boyfriend/rapper - Kanye West, this will be both their first child.

Some of us know her as Broomhilda from Django Unchained and as Olivia Pope from Scandal, but the rest of us know her as Kerry Washington - a phenomenal actress that is sweeping the nation and the world with her work.

Peep what he said to Bleu magazine below.

On his love of fashion….

“It’s never an off day for me. Even if you have the frumpiest clothes on and you got swag, you can make that shit look good. In the next three years I want to have my own clothing line.” 

On his early life as a rookie …

“Being 17 with 28, 29 and 30 year old basketball players, there was sort of a maturity aspect to it. I had a great opportunity to start earlier than most people. So while a few guys my age are only four or five years in, this is my ninth year. So it really helped impact my maturity level.”

On his brother Chris signing with the Knicks…

“It’s going to be easier for me on the road. When you have seen a group of guys for several months throughout the year, [opposed] to someone who has been there your whole life it’s a totally different situation. I get to play basketball and go to work [with my brother] everyday. So I think it’s going to be real cool.”

On his tattoos……

“I don’t think I was addicted. Addicted is a pretty strong word. If you’re addicted you can’t stop. I can stop whenever I want, I just choose not to.”

On Michael Jordan as his inspiration …..

“Jordan is the greatest of all times. He’s one of the reasons why I go so hard and push myself to be the best because I want to be…not better…but just as good.”
