The propellers whirl and the tiny box takes flight. When Tony Bradley wants to unwind, this is how the young Utah Jazz center relaxes. Sometimes he flies over a snow-covered stretch of the Wasatch Mountains, sometimes over the lights and buildings of downtown Salt Lake, the drone’s camera capturing spectacular images along the way. “For some reason I like it,” Bradley says. “I just like cool views of things. Different angles. Especially flying high.” Maybe it’s no coincidence. Over the past year, the big man has learned the value of the big picture.
Bradley was a McDonald’s All-American in high school and a standout at the University of North Carolina.
