Bailey is well-known for his friendship with rap star Drake in addition to basketball. In reality, the artist had reserved Dodger Stadium for a romantic meal with his mother Johanna Leia.
Since then, the rapper and Bailey have become quite close. Drake even gave him a specially designed OVO chain. In addition, he frequently attends Sierra Canyon games to support the 6-foot-5 guard.
Three days prior, Bailey heard his name announced as the 41st choice, a reward for his efforts. Celebrating the 19-year-old’s tremendous feat, LeBron James dedicated an Instagram story for the young man. “Yessir!!! Proud of you nephew” wrote the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
At only 19, Bailey has a sophisticated offence. His superiority in scoring as a high schooler was obvious. The five-star prospect earned his spot as a Bruin by averaging just under 30 points per game.
