Washington Basketball Markelle Fultz makes history at NBA Draft In basketball shoes

On a record setting night for the University of Washington, Washington Basketball Markelle Fultz arrived decked out in basketball shoes

Washington Basketball stood at the precipice of setting one more record. But before we get to that, let’s focus the man of the hour: Markelle Fultz. It is his night. The night he anticipated all his life.  The night an NBA team called upon him to accept the top draft selection of the entire 2017 NBA Draft class.

So a special night means special attire right? And as one of my female friends once advised me (she was a model), the shoes say it all. So Markelle Fultz had special shoes for the occasion. So special, they were made out of basketballs.

Another Huskies record

And with this moment, the Washington Huskies punctuate the achievements of the athletes this year by accomplishing the as-before unachievable.
