If you aren’t looking good at the Preakness, you shouldn’t be there. Warriors guard Stephen Curry definitely made sure he was looking right and even snapped a photo with Texas Tech football coach Kliff Kingsbury.

Another future NBA player already has his suit game set and he hasn’t even stepped on the court in the NBA. Kansas forward Andrew Wiggins strikes a pose with his mother Marita. We’re betting his mother definitely approves of Andrew’s clothing selection.
Highlight Mix of the Day
With Chicago being the breeding ground for elite NBA talent nowadays, it’s time to get to know the next talent who could be making a name for himself real soon. He may just be starting his high school career at famed Simeon High School as a freshman, but the 6’0 guard Marquis “Kezo” Brown already has some amazing passing and scoring skills. Keep an eye on this young man as he looks to continue the elite Chicago bloodline.

Whew, these are some sweet custom Nike LeBron 11’s. Nike allowed fans to vote on this custom set based on the shoe customization feature in NBA 2K14. Good choice gamers, we approve.
