Brendan Savage of MLive on Brandon Jennings after the Pistons beat the Pacers:

"Jennings wore a bright yellow turtleneck, brown jacket that looked as if it was made out of crushed velvet, and a pair of sunglasses with round lens that resembled the sort of the spectacles John Lennon was famous for.He looked like something straight out of the late 1960s.As hard as Jennings tried, he couldn’t maintain a straight face while answering questions from reporters, breaking into a sheepish grin a couple of times before regaining his composure.Finally, somebody asked him about the fancy duds.“I don’t go by Brandon Jennings anymore,” he said while heading toward the exit. “I’m Ike Turner Jr.”"

Someone might want to explain to Brandon Jennings all that implies.
