Dyson Daniels' mom becomes the unexpected star of NBA Draft
Published June 24, 2022
Whether it is the NFL or the NBA, draft night always delivers, and Thursday night was no exception, thanks in large part to Brikitta Kool-Daniels, the mother of New Orleans’ first round selection, Dyson Daniels.
Moments after Dyson Daniels was selected (eighth overall), he was joined on stage by Kool-Daniels who was wearing a white dress that left little to the imagination and had the smile to match. A seated interview soon followed and viewers definitely were not changing the channel.
The TV broadcast ran video of Daniels’ highlights, but it was mom’s previously unknown stats that sent lookers on scrambling to find her social accounts.
