Brandon Jennings is awesome. There. I said it. Not only did he have the onions to say goodbye to Arizona and college basketball and its relatively malignant control over young American basketball talent. Jennings -- through both academic inability and a desire to start making money -- chose Europe instead. That was awesome.

Perhaps even more awesome is having the confidence to unironically wear the hottest sunglasses fashion from like six months ago: Stutter Shades. Brandon Jennings has that confidence (HT: The Sports Culture):

Not just anyone can do that. For example, Luke Harangody. Great basketball player. Deserving talent. Goofy white dude unable to wear sunglasses without an Oakley label on them. Sorry Luke. I don't make the rules. I just blog about them.
