The one element of the NBA's hipster craze that bothers me is these NBA players spending all sorts of stupid money on fake glasses that cost more than my real glasses... and possibly my entire wardrobe. Seriously, when did it become in vogue for NBA players to show up to postgame press conferences with thick-rimmed fake glasses and stolen casual shirts from Don Cherry? Whoever started the NBA's hipster craze, it reached its pinnacle last night when ESPN NBA analyst Jeff Van Gundy donned these big red glasses ala Oklahoma City PG Russell Westbrook. Now that the NBA's hipster craze has reached the mainstream and become something of an established trend, it can no longer truly be hipster. Right? At least that's how I understand these things working. Plus, anyone who wants to hop aboard the hipster phenomenon now has to have this image of Jeff Van Gundy seared into their mind forever. Van Gundy is a great analyst, not so much a great hipster.
