Eddie has loved basketball since before he can walk or talk. His dedication,hard work & IQ at the age of 15 is what makes him different.
Thank you for generously supporting Eddie in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
He loves basketball because he is free in the court and because through basketball he has build great relationships with kids, coaches, referees and even older retired basketball players like Mugsy who’s talked to him about his talent and many more.
His father is his biggest inspiration overall but also players like Curry, LeBron, MJ, and so many more. He respects all players and loves to watch their old clips.
I feel like I’m the most proud when they are on the verge of loosing but he fights hard till the very end and will make game winning shots or free throws. He also makes his teammates want to win with his high energy and love for the game. He is a great athlete who’s becoming better everyday. He loves the basketball since he was a baby. While other baby’s had blankets or toys my son walked around with his ballball. His basketball has been his safe place and will continue to be it forever I’m sure
