Karen Taylor’s dream was to see her son, Stanley Johnson, play in the NBA.
She reminded him that he was just the second best player in the family, which he took to heart.
Johnson’s heart is heavy right now as he confirmed the loss of his mother in a tweet on Sunday.
Forever in my heart Always watching my back My angel from above I'm the luckiest kid in the world
— Stanley Johnson (@iAmSJ) August 2, 2015
His management team, BDA Sports, said it wouldn’t comment on the matter because of it being a family issue and refereed to the tweet that Johnson sent out Sunday.
