          The 2022-23 NBA season is finally here, and that means players will show off their style on the pregame runway.

          Opening night saw some of the league's brightest stars rock outstanding attire. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James channeled his 2003 draft-day look with modern updates. Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green also rocked an eye-catching suit on ring night, and Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden came extra relaxed to his season opener.

          More stylish looks were on display Wednesday and Thursday as more teams began their seasons. Sleek suits, graphic T-shirts and flashy accessories were worn by players pregame.

          Here are some of the most fashionable arrivals from the NBA opening week:

          Thursday

          For the season opener, Giannis Antetokounmpo wore a $1,995 embroidered sweater from Dolce and Gabbana.

          Tim Hardaway Jr. and JaVale McGee led the Mavs' pregame looks with their flashy jewelry.

          Portland Trail Blazers

          Damian Lillard's monochromatic fit was subtle yet effective in his season debut. Jerami Grant and Jusuf Nurkic's coats dazzled, while Anfernee Simons went for a more laid-back look.
