Wingman of the Year
When De'Aaron Fox was drafted fifth overall by the Sacramento Kings, his dream came true. He also came through for a lucky fan.
Prior to the 2017 NBA draft, a fan tweeted "if the Kings draft De'Aaron Fox on Thursday, I'll ask my crush out on a date."
Mission accomplished.
Fox was taken, and the day after the draft, our purple jersey-clad friend took the plunge. He would go on to post a screenshot of a successful conversation.
Let's hope their relationship resembled the commitment of Fox's contract extension and not the speed that landed him in Sacramento.
