The Oklahoma City Thunder made a statement on the court with a big win to open the second round against the Lakers and after the game, Russell Westbrook made quite the fashion statement.

In the post-game interview room, Kevin Durant and Westbrook walked in to address the media with Westbrook sporting khaki pants and a white polo adorned with fishing lures printed all over it.

In addition, Westbrook's shiny red framed glasses added a special touch some compared to Steve Urkel or Sally-Jesse Raphael.

The shirt immediately got fans across the country talking with some mixed emotions.

Charles Barkley, an outspoken critic of Oklahoma City since the Hornets said "Well, at least we know they got a TJ Maxx in Oklahoma City."

Shaq chimed in saying "I've got one word for you: Garanimals."

After practice Monday, Westbrook was asked about his shirt and had this to say: " I just saw the shirt and I got it from Lacoste, according to Barkley I got it from TJ Maxx, but yeah I got it from the Lacoste store—I saw it and I liked it."

As far as the glasses go, Westbrook said: "I think last night was just the night they finally seen it, I've been wearing glasses all season."

"I told him what I thought about it, so hopefully we're not going to see it again," said OKC's Thabo Sefolosha with a smile.

"It's a bad look, It's a bad look, It's a bad look," said Thunder Head Coach Scott Brooks. " heard about it, I didn't see it, I am going to go pull it up and look at it on video. But maybe I should wear it tomorrow night, maybe it will be a good look for me."

The shirt is a Lacoste polo that retails for $115 and comes in either white or blue. Some say that $115 is way too much to pay for such an unusual find.
