Justin Bieber gave off early 2000 NBA Draft vibes with his Grammy outfit
1. There are certain eras and trends in the history of sports that hold a special place in the hearts of fans.
One of those eras is the early 2000s, when NBA draft prospects would wear suits eight sizes too big to the draft.
Justin Bieber gave off those vibes in a big way (no pun intended) with his outfit from last night’s Grammy Awards.
Twitter couldn’t help but be reminded of those NBA drafts when they saw Bieber’s suit.
Bieber’s look led to some other sports references as well.
Bieber did change out of the suit for his performance of Peaches.
2. Sure, the Duke–North Carolina game on Saturday was a classic, but the best moment came from CBS analyst Bill Raftery.
Another highlight that had nothing to do with the game was Charles Barkley gettin down to “YMCA.”
3. It looks like the final viewership number for Duke–North Carolina will be about 18 million viewers, which is huge for cable. It’s also less than a regular-season 4:25 Sunday NFL game, just for perspective.
4. Dear Aaron Judge, please get this fan an autograph by whatever means necessary.
5. Darren Rovell takes a lot of s--- on Twitter, but you can’t say he doesn’t put himself out there and work for every retweet, like and comment.
