Nikola Jokic is one of the NBA’s few approachable stars. While his basketball skills are only known to a few, his attitude regarding modern fashion in the league is shared by many.

Charles Barkley is without a doubt one of them, and Jokic stated his displeasure with some of his teammates’ and contemporaries’ unorthodox clothing before emphasizing his preference for a more traditional look.

After the game, Barkley and the NBA on TNT staff complimented the Serbian superstar on his outfit before disclosing why he chose the gorgeous pale blue turtleneck, which was easily coupled with a navy and maroon checkered suit.

‘We saw you coming in tonight, you were fly tonight, brother. You looked good tonight walking in there. You must got big plans after the game,’ Barkley quipped.

‘No, to be honest I started doing this, this season and I think it’s one way to represent yourself,’ Jokic said.

‘I just don’t like how the guys are dressing up for games. Wearing a suit means business, it means that I’m here to do my job.’

Some NBA players are known almost as much for their fashion interests and looks as they are for their on-court performance. Russell Westbrook and Kyle Kuzma are frequent leaders.

Modern NBA players are notorious for wearing more revealing clothing than prior generations.

Jokic most certainly clocked in against the Memphis Grizzlies, as Denver won convincingly, 105-91.

In a full performance, the reigning back-to-back MVP posted another triple-double, scoring 13 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, and dishing out 13 assists.

It was the Serbian’s 82nd triple-double of his career, more than any other center in NBA history.
