Naz Reid, the big man for the Minnesota Timberwolves, began his basketball journey at Roselle Catholic High School. In a heartwarming ceremony at his former school, his high school jersey number was officially retired. Reid’s Timberwolves teammates rallied to show their support during this significant moment. Notably, star player Anthony Edwards delivered a remarkable response.
During high school, Reid was a member of the Jelly Fam, an internet movement focused on impressive finger roll layups. The retirement of Reid’s high school jersey was a significant moment for him, and Edwards never missed opportunities to support his teammates. In a recent interview, Edwards shared his heartfelt reaction to his brother Naz Reid’s big night.
“That was the best feeling I had in a minute, since having my little girl. It felt like my jersey was getting retired. Naz is like a brother to me.” Edwards said (via Jon Krawczynski of the Athletic).
