NBA tunnel fits are all about seizing brief yet significant moments between the player's team bus to locker rooms. It's an experience that extends beyond just the game, resonating with the essence of modern culture. With tunnel fits sports, fashion, and hip-hop forms a unique fusion, shaping a new way in which we understand and interact with fashion.

How as LeagueFits become so succesful?
On the meteoric success of LeagueFits, Ian explained:
“LeagueFits became something that anyone could follow, and it wasn't daunting because you didn't feel like you had to know the ins and outs of the fashion world. You could just see and appreciate things that were either really cool or really ridiculous, which we see all the time.”
LeagueFits community
Commenting on the positive and embracing LeagueFits community Ian explained:
"The best performing sports shows are shows built around debate, one guy says one thing is awesome, the other guy says it sucks. A lot of style is kind of the same way, it's the cop or drop, the hot or not.
And from the beginning, I never wanted LeagueFits to be about that, so we don't do polls like, "Who wore it better?".
I've always tried to be that way. I'm going to let people draw their own opinions, but I try to always keep it positive, because even the stuff that I don't like, maybe it's a little out there, maybe it's a little wacko, I still appreciate it. It's art. Fashion is a visual art, just as painting or anything else, right?"
"LeagueFits is just as much a basketball-style page as it just a dope aesthetics page."

"There's 450ish NBA players, and in 2018, probably 30 guys were taking fashion seriously, now guys that don't even get any playing time are taking it super seriously. Guys that are like the 12th man on the bench, and I think that's super cool, because these guys can now have a brand."
