Sometimes Latina Edwards is just walking around smiling and doesn't realize. One of her teenaged sons will ask why? Did someone say something? No, not really. It's just Latina thinking about her oldest son, Bobby Portis, who plays for the Chicago Bulls.
That's right, just a kid from Little Rock, Arkansas right there in the NBA.
"I'm still in awe," Latina was saying Tuesday as the Bulls were leaving for New York on an inaugural Sons & Mothers trip for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. "Even though this is his third year, I'm in awe. To say I am watching my son play in the NBA, it still hasn't settled in yet because I'm still so proud to see he made it and to see my son playing in the NBA.
