Anthony Edwards picked UGA over Kentucky and family had everything to do with it | The Undefeated
Спорт
In 2015, Anthony Edwards lost two of the most influential women in his life to cancer, his mother and grandmother. After that, family and basketball became that much more important to Edwards, who opted to stay home and attend the University of Georgia. Now, Edwards welcomes everything that comes his way with a smile on his face, because that's what his grandmother told him to do.

Wow, I didn't know John Boyega played in the NBA as well.
The kid is talented
Atlanta should draft him
When was this on espn heard the number one pick quote recently
Now I know why the Hawks are tanking again.
Respect
No matter what this man always has a smile on his face. Wish him the best going forward. DGD! 🐶
He special as a junior before his senior year was nothing check his ig and you can see his senior year went from unknown to a number one pick contender all American and now a possible top 3 pick
Consistently great content! Ok, no more coffee for us. 8-)
That baby was not prepped beforehand...😭🤣
Is this Glikecoop with the commentary?
Knicks do whatever you can to draft this kid. His physical attributes and obvious scoring skills aside this kid has the right mentality. He has a genuine passion for the game. He had a tough childhood and because of that you can hear the drive in his voice. And he seems like a smart kid. Guarantee you hes the type that hates losing and will outwork everyone if he needs to do.
A lot of people don’t know about him
How about that auburn game🤷🏾♂️
My boy...!
What type of hoodie he be wearin, it look cozy and cool...
Made me like him more
#1 pick
He’s a monster and should be number one him or Lamelo.

Clutch7 Lamelo is a high volume shooter, a lot of people just watch the range and assume he’s a lights out shooter but he’s more Harden than Curry.. It’s Quantity over Quality for Lamelo, hopefully he works on that but I’m seeing him going top 5 because a lot of these lottery teams are heavy on guards...
@1:05 hahaha that smile as he says his mom and grandma died of cancer.
Anthony Edwards looks like a football player
Now he gotta play for the Hawks.

This is the one who can do what LeBron has managed to achieve if stay healthy… anything possible with this guy

@@coachdudesportstv not at all.. RJ needs a dynamic player like Edwards to play with. RJ is a really good facilitating wing. RJ moves to the 3 and plays more point forward while Edwards is your dynamic scorer. It's actually a potentially deadly combo on both ends. In no way does RJ dominate the basketball and you would know that if you watched him play this year.
