I guess when you’re a 20 year old millionaire NBA athlete and you can’t go out (wink wink) to bars and clubs you need to find things to do with your time. I still don’t know how many NBA players would choose to go to Northwestern vs. Mercyhurst on their off day. Not many people are like VJ Edgecombe though. He just proved how much of a basketball sicko he is watching a 70-47 beatdown last night before the Sixers play the Bulls tonight. Ace Bailey would never:
But why was he at a Journalism school watching basketball? Does he have an affinity for Chris Collins’ Motion Offense? Maybe he’s scouting an under the radar stretch-4 for Daryl Morey? Nope. He had a teammate on the Wildcats from high school:
Still I don’t know how many 20 year olds are showing up to watch Northwestern ball in a city like Chicago. I mean if they were in Oklahoma City and he went to a Sooners game I could understand that. There’s nothing to do in OKC. But this is Chicago. Home to some of the greatest restaurants and nightlife in the country and he’s spending it watching a P4 squad that was picked to finish 14th in the B1G beat up on some mid-major who just last year moved up to D1. VJ Edgecombe might be the greatest friend of all time, man. I mean it got so out of hand the last tweet from the Mercyhurst Men’s Basketball Twitter account came with 18 minutes left in the second half:
After that the next tweet was the final score graphic. That’s never a good sign.
VJ Edgecombe:
We gotta get him to some Big 5 games this year. There’s some MTV veejay bit there that the Big 5 organizers could get him in on.
