At least VJ Edgecombe got his absolute idol’s jersey back
VJ Edgecombe grimaced, but his eyes were still shining as he walked off the floor of the Xfinity Mobile Arena. Defeated by four points against the Lakersthe Sixers rookie just experienced one of the moments he dreamed of as a kid: trading jerseys with LeBron Jameshis absolute idol.
The author of 15 points in the loss to Los Angeles, the Bahamian met the eyes of the star of Los Angeles for a long time before recovering the precious jersey in the corridor.
“I’m still a kid, to be honest. He was my favorite player growing up, the only reason why I started playing basketball. It means a lot to me to get his jersey back, but I wanted to win. It would have been different if we had won and I had his jersey.”, he confided after the meeting.
A little irony of history, VJ Edgecombe obliterated LeBron James’ record for his NBA debut earlier in the season, scoring 34 points in his first game. But last night “The King” reminded us that he remained the boss by crucifying Philadelphia in the time of money, even if he will celebrate his 41st birthday.
