Friday's A.M. Hot Clicks: Andrew Wiggins Honors 'The Three Amigos'

Scenes From the NBA Draft

Steve Martin Andrew Wiggins

Steve Martin noticed something familiar about Andrew Wiggins' attire and tweeted out the above photo ... Wiggins wasn't the only player who made a fashion statement ... Zach LaVine wasn't exactly thrilled when the T-Wolves snagged him with the 13th overall pick. I thought the same thing about Joel Embiid when the Sixers grabbed him at No. 3, but he was watching on satellite delay and didn't realize ... Bill Simmons made a good V Stiviano joke before the Clippers pick ... I enjoyed this roundup of Twitter reactions to the draft ... The Raptors selected Brazilian forward Bruno Caboclo with the 20th overall pick and nobody knew a thing about him ... And in the best part of the draft, the NBA selected Isaiah Austin and let the former Baylor forward walk across the stage and shake Adam Silver's hand. Austin was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome a few days ago and will not be able to play in the NBA. This was a pretty spectacular moment and you have no soul if you didn't at least get a little misty.

Kobe Won't Like This

Kobe Bryant seemed excited about the Lakers' selection of Kentucky forward Julius Randle with the seventh overall pick. Not sure how Kobe will feel about Randle posting a Throwback Thursday photo of himself as a youngster wearing a Bryant jersey.

#BoycottRihanna

Barbados native Rihanna has been surprisingly vocal during the World Cup, tweeting out her support of Germany, Portugal, Ghana, France, Argentina, Uruguay and Holland. You may have noticed the USA missing from that list. A #BoycottRihanna movement has emerged on Twitter to combat the pop singer. 

Lovely Lady of the Day

Ashlyn Coray got deep on Twitter last night, saying, "I find it funny how the only people to ever stand up for me are people I don't even know. Time to reevaluate." I'm guessing someone she knows didn't have her back.

David Ortiz Calls His Shot

Days after being called out by MLB executive vice-president Joe Torre for complaining about the official scorers, David Ortiz promised a group of kids he'd hit a home run during Wednesday's game against Seattle. And sure enough, Big Papi went yard in his very first at-bat.
