What NBA player Kelly Oubre Jr. has been up to during the coronavirus pandemic

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. isn't just rehabbing during the coronavirus pandemic.

He's also working hard on his brand, while seemingly always living by the phrase, “Different but dope.”

Oubre, who underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee in early March, spends his mornings working out in his backyard before going into his office and unlocking his inner creativity: sketching, drawing, creating music and learning how to make beats.

Basketball is the 24-year-old's first priority, but Oubre has grand plans for his “Dope Soul” brand, hoping to impact the fashion game like Louis Vuitton menswear creative director Virgil Abloh.
