If you’ve been watching the NBA playoffs, you’ve seen the perpetually questioned, never-ending wardrobe of fashionista Russell Westbrook.

The “Urban Geek Chic” style has been an extraordinarily hot topic during these playoffs and was accentuated once again Tuesday night during both teams’ postgame media briefings, as Westbrook, teammate Kevin Durant, and Heat teammates LeBron James and Dwyane Wade all wore glasses to the podium.

During Wednesday’s media availability – between questions about how his team has improved defensively and how Durant and he coexist – Westbrook answered a few questions about his wardrobe and about the glasses everyone wore Tuesday night.

Did Westbrook start this whole trend?

“I’ve been wearing glasses since I’ve been in the league. I think everybody else just started wearing them now. … I ain’t saying nothing, but I’m just saying [laughs].”

Predictably, James had a different outlook on things.

“No, that’s not right,” James said. “There’s no stories behind it. You know, it’s a look, it’s a fashion thing. But he absolutely didn’t start it.”

James didn’t stop there, though.

“I don’t know who started it, honestly,” he said. “I think I’ve been wearing mine for about two years now, but I don’t know who started it. None of us started it. It could have started back in the ’70s or ’80s. I’m serious. I mean, fashion comes and goes.”

Regardless of who is right, all of these guys are having fun showing off their Urban Geek Chic wardrobes. According to Westbrook, confidence is the key to success each and every time he puts on one of those Twitter debate-sparking shirts (here’s the unbelievably long Google search for you) or standout pants.

“Some stuff a lot of people can’t pull off, you know, because they’re worried about what other people say or it’s not their style,” Westbrook said. “I can wear anything in any color and feel confident.”

Of course, if you were often referred to as the most athletic player in the NBA, you might have some confidence, too.

And just in case you were wondering, Westbrook has plenty more pairs of glasses up his daring sleeves for the rest of the series – and then some.

“Every color,” he said. “I just haven’t worn them yet. I got enough to end the year out.”

So for all of you wondering when Westbrook is going to grow up and rock a normal shirt to the podium without those somewhat Urkel-reminiscent glasses, you might as well just sit back, laugh and enjoy the show.

At just 23 years old, it doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon.
