Leadership is an unmistakable quality in an NBA locker room, but it doesn’t always look or sound the same.
Iman Shumpert has a unique sense of fashion. He moonlights as a rapper. He always made sure the music was bumping in the Kings’ clubhouse.
Shumpert coined popular expressions, loudly announced the team’s arrival — “Scores is here” — and came to the arena in wild outfits, like camouflage pants with a neon-green shirt, a black leather jacket, a red beanie and high-top sneakers.
Harrison Barnes is different. He’s quieter and more conservative in his appearance, far more likely to show up with a sport coat over a nice turtleneck or, perhaps, a sensible sweater.
