The NBA Draft has come and gone, but the fashion that we saw tonight will forever be seared into our minds for better or for worse.

One of the most special times of the basketball year is the NBA Draft. Not only is it a chance for us to celebrate the past year in basketball one last time, but it gives us a look ahead to what tomorrow holds — both in terms of next season and the future of the league.
