Dyson Daniels Mom Goes Viral at NBA Draft

Oh Mother.

Dyson Daniels became the third player in two years to go in the top 10 of the NBA draft after playing only one season for the NBA G-League Ignite, joining Houston’s Jalen Green and Golden State’s Jonathan Kuminga from one year ago.

Daniels, a 19-year-old guard from Australia, was drafted by New Orleans at No. 8.

It wasn’t his G-League status that had everyone talking, instead his Mom was going viral during the draft.

See all the fuss below:

“The G-League was huge for me,” Daniels said. “Playing against the NBA style of play, playing against NBA-type players, I had to learn how to play faster, more physical. Know when I could get mine.

“We had a great team and we had really good veterans and a really good coaching staff. I learned a lot throughout my year, and I think I improved as the year went on. The G-League was definitely a really good step for me and helped me get here, for sure.”

Now he’ll forever be known as the guy whose Mom went viral during the draft.
