After Brandon Knight was selected eighth overall in the 2011 NBA Draft, he asked his mother, Tonya, a favor.
Could she take care of his dog until he had time to come back and get him?
“He ended up going to Milwaukee, so guess who wound up with the dog?” Tonya asked with mock indignation. “Me!”
She immediately followed that up by saying she wanted to keep the dog at this point. She has grown comfortable with him, and now can’t imagine life without him. Now she hopes her son will develop a similar comfort level with his new NBA home, his third within his first four years in the league.
