Bill Simmons on the NBA draft hug hierarchy

Simmons with another FUNNY NBA DRAFT DIARY, which he does every year.

The highlight this time may be the “hug hierarchy” for the order in which players seem to hug people after being drafted. Seems pretty accurate to me:

“Mom (if she’s there)
Dad (if he’s there)
Girlfriend (if she’s there)
Brother (who’s usually there)
Agent (always there)
Future head entourage member/weed mule (if he’s there)
Extended family member (if they’re there)
And finally …
Hat Guy (the guy who hands them the team’s hat who just picked them)

If somebody hits all eight, that will be the Draft Cycle. [Derrick] Williams just went Mom-Girlfriend-Agent-Entourage-Family-Hat Guy. He fell two short.”
