Do you know what’s better than a talented and skilled basketball player? A handsome and attractive one, of course! The NBA has seen a fair share of “athleticism meets charisma” where talent merges seamlessly with charm and looks. As the NBA courts become the stage for an exquisite display of skill, it’s impossible to ignore the captivating allure of some of the league’s most handsome players.
In this exclusive ranking for 2023, we’re going to highlight the Top 5 most handsome NBA players who not only command the court with their prowess but also leave fans swooning with their off-court charm. Also, this is based on the view of the public and NBA fans. So, some of your favorite names won’t be on this list, but that doesn’t mean they’re not handsome, am I right?
5. Kevin Love
Miami Heat power forward Kevin Love is arguably one of the better-looking guys in the league. At 35 years old, he still got it. Even though Love is already at the back end of his career and may be retiring soon, he doesn’t look like it. Honestly, KLove looked more handsome than he was 10 years ago.
In 2022, Kevin Love married Kate Lynne Bock and they already have a child together. Although the 5-time All-Star seems to already have it all, he had a time in his career when he suffered serious mental health issues (i.e. panic attack). Because of that, Love has been an active mental health ambassador and started the Kevin Love Fund, an organization that provides mental and physical health resources for students and teachers. What a great guy!
4. Zach LaVine
The two-time Slam Dunk champion isn’t just what an aspiring NBA player would want to be, he’s also who women want.
Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine has always been a good-looking guy. From high school to college, and then to the NBA, all eyes were on him especially since he was extremely talented. LaVine’s eyes somehow talk and can even “rizz” women, making it difficult to not notice him.
3. Kyle Kuzma
Among all of the names here, Kyle Kuzma may be the most fashionable one. But, even without his sometimes outrageous outfits, Kuzma is already very handsome.
The bad boy look certainly fits Kuzma’s aura. Also, his face is almost 100% symmetrical, which is somehow a basis for how good-looking a person is. Being one of Kendal Jenner’s boyfriends definitely says he’s a hot player.
2. Luka Doncic
Why isn’t Luka Doncic considered one of the most handsome NBA players by some? Various rankers do not even mention the Slovenian superstar on the list of hot and attractive basketball players, but fans would like to think otherwise. If you’re going to ask me why Luka is handsome … just look at him!
Doncic may very well be the 2024 MVP, probably the most handsome MVP we’ve seen in years.
1. Most Handsome NBA Player ever: Kelly Oubre Jr.
And here we are. The unanimous MVP for the most handsome NBA player title. Former Wizards and Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. brings home the bacon as the most attractive baller in the league. His face, eyes, and most importantly, his jawline, are almost perfect. If you’re going to watch Sixers games moving forward, we suggest not bringing your girlfriend.
Eew, stop trying to market Kuz as handsome. Kuz is not handsome, he looks like a dorky effeminate teenager.
A lot of great-looking players deserved that spot over him. Max Strus is a handsome devil, so are Ricky Rubio, Ja Morant, Gabe Vincent, the Martin twins, CP3, the list goes on
