As a five-year inhabitant of NYC, I know that the energy and excitement over the NY Knicks making the NBA playoffs will have the city absolutely electric. The Empire State Building donned the team’s colors. Every celeb who has sat courtside for the Knicks for years, waiting for this moment, is ecstatic. Of course, the San Antonio Spurs fanbase is equally excited and has won far more NBA Championships, but I don’t have the same connection or draw to that team.
With the fashion and sponsorship crossover into sports continuing to take hold across the board, it’s time for us to visit the men of the NBA Finals and their game-day bags. We’ve spent a lot of time visiting NFL players and their bags, and now we have a look at the best of the NBA finalists, including players from the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs.
Louis Vuitton and Goyard continue to be the go-tos for many sports players, from the Keepall in its many variations to the Dopp Kit for personal items. There have been some style-forward moments this season, too, from the players, with more statement bags than functional options. With game two happening tonight and the Knicks up by 1 in the series, it’s time to see which team has the better bag game.

I like this, nice to see that fashion can be loved by all.
