Aaron Rodgers shows up to support Sam Dekker at NBA Draft

Last night's NBA draft was certainly an exciting event, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers made sure he wasn't missing out.

Rodgers, who has been a public supporter of Wisconsin basketball throughout the March Madness tournament, appeared at the Barclays Center last night to support his buddy Sam Dekker. Dekker, drafted by the Houston Rockets, snapped some photos with the two sporting Rockets hats.

Earlier this year, Dekker had revealed that Rodgers challenged the young guard before Wisconsin's Sweet 16 victory over North Carolina. Dekker responded with a dominant 23-point performance, a career high. Their friendship, apparently, has continued.
