Thursday's NBA Draft was a momentous event for outgoing Wisconsin Badgers Sam Dekker and Frank Kaminsky, who both made the leap from the the college ranks to the pros.

In New York to celebrate was Badgers supporter Aaron Rodgers, who looks a bit more human standing next to 6-foot-9 forward Dekker. The Houston Rockets took Dekker 18th overall and their color scheme apparently caused the Packers QB to wear some red, which he had previously avoided:

Gonna be a great night for a couple buddies @dekker and @FSKPart3 , I'm guessing teams that pass on them could regret it down the line.

Dekker made reference to his older brother John who played hoops at Division III Lawrence University in Wisconsin.

Rodgers publicly supported the Badgers during the team's run all the way to the National Championship game against Duke earlier this year. During the tournament, the California native Rodgers also had his basketball loyalties questioned, to which he responded:

"You'll hear Sam say, 'I'm just texting with Aaron right now," Dekker's older brother told ESPN in December. "He doesn't tell us what they're texting about. It's crazy when probably the best NFL player is texting your brother. Sam plays it cool."
