Dekker used an unconventional collar, colors that work together, a nice 'out there' tie, and made it all work. The only thing that would have made it better is losing the pocket square and maybe adding a collar pin, but it's hard to argue with that look.

Frank looks like poo poo

The person to feel bad for in all of this is Frank Kaminsky III, who went ninth to the Hornets. For weeks, he’s been roundly mocked for his promotional tweets (from the account @FSKPart3) about his JCPenney sponsorship. On draft night, ESPN’s crew caught someone asking him whether his suit — in the same executive gray as Silver’s — was also JCPenney. The reply was a meek, rueful “yes.” Indeed, he was dressed for long hours in the shoe department. Alongside the many stabs at luxury and glamour and boyish sexiness, Kaminsky seemed out of place, out of touch, and utterly conventional. But Kaminsky’s very averageness speaks to the dreams of the average American man. We at home hope for a show, but millions of men hope to put on a suit and go utterly unnoticed. Frank Kaminsky should be their superhero: Today’s Invisible Man.

Linsanity was really really cool. It was the highest scoring first 5 starting games in recent NBA history, which is kinda nuts. His basketball skills are nowhere near a match for his salary as a percentage of cap space, but as a pure employee-vs-earnings-for-the-company proposition he's pretty darn good for the NBA at large. Here look this dumb cia magazine cover says the same thing:

Remember when Allen Iverson was too hip hop for the NBA and they made a dress code?

I'm curious about what that dress code said given how players dress these days. But I'm not curious enough to actually look it up. But the evolution of NBA fashion in the post-Iverson era is pretty cool.

Browne: You go to a Raptors game and Drake is sitting there.

Burke: Can I tell you something about the last time I was there? I just could not believe this happened. Drake turned around—my seat at game six was right behind him—makes a heart shape [with his hands] and points at me. I’m looking around behind me to see who’s there, turn back to him and then he points and he does it again. I texted my daughter and said, ‘You need to know Drake just did this to me.’
