NBA playoffs 2022 -- Eye-catching outfits from the first round of the postseason

Pregame fashion has become woven into the fabric of the NBA, with some players building a reputation for their wardrobe selections.

Washington Wizards small forward Kyle Kuzma became one of the league's front-runners in eye-catching outfits during the regular season.

«I always look at fashion not as I'm just putting on clothes, but I'm putting together a story and putting together a look that when you see me, it's a conversation piece,» he told the Boardroom.

Kuzma's squad didn't make it to the postseason, so he won't be able to wear his unique fits on the pregame runway. But a handful of players stepped up and stood out in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Chris Paul, Phoenix Suns, Game 3

Ahead of Friday's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, Paul put together an impressive suit combination. Quite the color choice.
