LEXINGTON, Ky. – Two hours before tipoff against Auburn last week, Kentucky star Bam Adebayo emerged from the locker room and briefly stopped before he stepped on the court at Rupp Arena.
The 6-foot-10 forward shook hands with Warren Edwards, who said, "My brother, what's happening?"
Both were ready to get to work.
Adebayo grabbed a basketball and started hoisting shots around the free throw line. Edwards, aka, DJ Warren Peace, called up a song by Drake and Future – Diamonds Dancing – to set the tone.
"I know each person on the court," Edwards, 29, said.
