Besides the city of Philadelphia, Kris Dunn won the night

Kris Dunn, without question, won the night.

He was passionately emotional:

He repped his city in the best way possible:

He gave one of the best clothing store shout outs of all time:

He made Baby and Manny Fresh of the group formally known as the Big Tymers extremely happy by wearing the most glittery Gucci shoes you’ll ever see:

Even after he was drafted, he had two teams in the Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia frantically trying to piece together a sweet enough package to trade for him.

And to top that all off, he now gets to play on one of the most exciting teams in the NBA, who is also now being coached by one of the best basketball coaches in the world.

He gets to run fast breaks with Andrew Wiggins. He gets to throw lob passes to Zach LaVine. He gets to run pick and rolls with a budding superstar in Karl Anthony Towns.

He gets to be around Kevin Garnett. I wish I was around Kevin Garnett multiple times a day.

Dunn is a multi-dimensional future SUPERSTAR. Book it.
