ESPN takes note of the trend toward outlandish pre-game outfits in the NBA with the latest spot in its "This Is SportsCenter" series. 

The ad opens with Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green walking into the office rocking a stylish but not over-the-top outfit and casually greeting a security guard. SportsCenter anchors Steve Levy and John Buccigross then stroll in—wearing progressively ridiculous dress, and receiving a somewhat different reaction from the security guard. 

Wieden + Kennedy New York's long-running "This Is SportsCenter" series reliably skewers the more ridiculous aspects of sports fandom, and the latest entry is no exception.
