Best Performance of the Night by a former Hawk
Demarre Carroll
In my 15 years on Earth, I have rarely seen such a “fire fit”. After a great all-around game for the former Hawk, there is no other outfit that I could have expected Demarre Carroll to wear. We are only left to assume his choice of footwear; possibly a higher end designer shoe, or a more casual Jordan sneaker. Either way, there is no better way to cap off a great game than a leopard-print headband.
