Pivotal Presence DeAndre Jordan leads the NBA in rebounding and style points.

As the center for the Los Angeles Clippers, DeAndre Jordan protects the rim for one of the NBA’s best teams. Now he brings that intensity to his personal style.

When did you start to get interested in fashion?
When I was 21 years old. I had been in the league a bit. I was wearing size 3x polos and jeans that I could fit two of me in. As I got older, I started to change and develop as a person. I really started to like more tailored clothing. I wanted to try different things. And it all really happened from there.

How did you develop that interest and translate it into what you would wear?
I would look at a lot of different magazines and television shows. I would see a look I liked. Then I would wonder how it would look on an abnormal person like myself (laughs).

What was the first really nice article of clothing that you bought for yourself?
I bought a bunch of tailored suits, some jean jackets. I wanted a tailored cut that fits slim to my body.

Can you buy anything off the rack?
T-shirts, maybe. Pants or anything with long sleeves, I have to get custom made. But I like custom. It may take a while to get what you want, but you’re getting what you like, exactly the way you like it.

Do you have favorite designers that are your go to brands?
I love Givenchy, Tom Ford, Burberry—there are a lot of designers that I love to wear. New designers too. It’s all about how it looks.

Do you see yourself staying with fashion even after your done playing?
Most definitely. I’m going to be that guy who, when he’s in his sixties and seventies, wears a suit every day, even if I’m just going down to the grocery store. I am going to be suited and booted to go buy that food! I’ll be like The Great Gatsby!

Do you like to take risks with what you wear when you are on the red carpet?
I didn’t use to like stepping out of the box. I’m 6-foot-11, so I’m already stepping out of the box with that. I’m taking a little more risk these days, but I’m still not too daring.

What was you favorite outfit during your AQ shoot?
I loved the suits, but the one outfit with the leather pants and no shirt. I felt like Jimi Hendrix! I was feeling the Purple Haze there!

Who’s the best-dressed guy on the team?
Hmm… I would have to say DeAndre Jordan. No, I’m kidding.

It’s ok, you can vote for yourself.
Well then I will definitely say DeAndre Jordan. We’ve got some guys that are really into it. Chris Paul is always dressed great. Blake Griffin, Chris Douglas-Roberts, they wear it well too. But we all can’t win. So I’ll be 1A and they can all be 1B.
