Basketball players are nowadays often known for their style quotient as much as their game. That was the conversation Cameron Brink and Sydel Curry had on the latest episode of their Straight To Cam podcast. The long-time friends had influencer Mia Mastrov on the program to talk all things WNBA following the draft. But the conversation soon shifted to a more fun topic.

The trio started talking about NBA superstar Russell Westbrook’s role in styling Georgia Moore, the No. 6 WNBA Draft pick. Known for his bold fashion choices, Russ’s name sparked a deeper conversation about NBA players and their sense of fashion. That’s when Cam and Sydel asked their guest a fun question: Which NBA player would you let style you?
“Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Done deal,” said Mia after zero hesitation. Cam and Syd agreed that SGA has incredible style and was an excellent choice. “They all have stylists,” added Syd, reminding the girls that not every player has as much swag as Alexander. When it came time for Cam to answer, she named someone who she knew would not dress her.
“I’m not letting Steph dress me,” she said with a laugh. Cam then looked at Syd and claimed she meant “No shade,” toward her co-host’s future Hall of Famer brother.
“I just don’t know if he could pick out a girl’s outfit,” responded the injured Los Angeles Sparks star.
While Cam and Sid might not be that confident about Steph’s choices in fashion, he has spoken ad nauseum about his passion for it in the past. Many believe that his taste was universally lauded as being top tier.
So much so that he has even made it to events like the Met Gala. And a lot of credit for that must go to his stylist, Jason Bolden. Being modest, Bolden is full of praise for Steph’s fashion. In an interview with UpRoxx in November 2024, Bolden spoke about that and their partnership extensively.
“You just watch his day-to-day life, and then to know him as a person, his style point of view is just, it’s classic, it’s easy. It’s what most guys lean towards. Like he has this kind of a classic Americana feel to him, but it’s super relatable.
“And I think for me, when I first met him, it was very obvious. Like, he liked fashion, but it wasn’t like a sole focus. And then it became this thing, speaking of the Met, it became this thing, like I saw the evolution of his excitement.
“So when it came to his style point of view, it was pretty easy. He likes classic, conventional, smart clothing, and I think you can look at like a lot of his tunnel walks that you see,” Bolden said.
Those tunnel walks have become iconic. Because of them, Curry has managed to score his own athleisure collection with Under Armour and a deal with Rakuten, the Japanese conglomerate for giving more of his fans the opportunity to afford his clothing. With these initiatives, he is also looking to support independent black designers, making him more interested and knowledgeable in fashion than he was at the start of his career.
Nevertheless, Cam chose Sixers rookie Jared McCain to style her, instead of the Dubs legend. “I feel like Jared could pick out a fit and paint my nails,” she said, referencing how McCain is known not just for his love of nail art.
Brink is widely considered one of the most fashionable WNBA stars in the game. Despite being out with an ACL injury, she’s upped her endorsement deals and shone in numerous advertisements showing off that style. The Sparks will be missing her for most of the 2025 season, but hopefully, Brink takes the time to get better quicker.
