The Awkward Photos Of NBA Draftees Wearing Hats Of Teams They Won't Be Playing For Must Be Stopped
It seems to happen at least once every single year. A NBA Draft prospect hears his name called by Commissioner Adam Silver, hugs his family and friends, makes his way up the stage, puts on a hat, and poses for a picture.

This dilemma happens annually, and I will get mad about it every single time. It makes no sense.
