Bio
Hey Antawn have you ever seen Eddie nervous or shaken?? "Not at all," Antawn says. "That's one thing about Ed, he is just so laid back on and off the court, you can't tell when he's nervous or anything. Sometimes you can't tell if he's a freshman or a senior. Everybody is going to say, 'Well, I should have done this or
should have done that,' but Ed doesn't dwell on it. He lets it pass by and he's back trying to do better."
"I never get nervous, honest to God," Eddie said. "Why should I get nervous? I'm playing a game I like and doingsomething I love, and when it comes down to tight situations, that's what you play the game for, to compete and makethings happen when times are crucial. I play the game to have fun."
Background info
"I felt that I was drifting cause I was missing school and not doing the right things in life, not doin what I was supposed to been doin to make it to where I'm at now." Eddie says.
(This part isn’t 100% cause I cant understand word for word what she said) "We used to talk on the phone everyday, in the morning, in the night, oh my goodness he would call," his mother says. "then he said to me, 'when are you coming?' but I could not come. I had to stay."
When his mom came back it was suggested that he enroll in a new school. Eddie was an All American player and accepted a scholarship to a New England Prep School. "He was very quiet, introspective, I wouldn’t call him scared but if you didn’t speak to him he wasn’t speaking to you." said Eisenberg. "And then when you put a basketball in his hands, he was something different, the character, the confidence grew." (I'm not sure if that was the coach at the old HS or the New England one??)
"I know I came a long way and, I'm just happy that I'm goin in the right direction now and good things are happening for me, and I don’t think nothin right now could ever put me down."
