5. This thing

This ensemble is simple and clean, sporty and yet elegant. Having James Harden walk next to him as an offsetting, yellow, human accessory is a nice touch as well. The red in Tucker’s outfit is close enough to the official Rockets’ red hue that we can assume it’s intentional. From the tailored capris to the red bag, the matching sneakers to the back-up pair of white shoes, everything here is in it’s place.

The tailoring on the jacket is excellent and it adds an air of class to what otherwise would be a fairly dressed down outfit. However, with the simple white t underneath, there’s enough versatility here for Tucker to simply peel off the jacket and take any rowdy at the club to the court across the street for some one-on-one.

This outfit says, “I’m not here to play. Unless, that’s your thing.”
