VJ Edgecombe, a player on the Philadelphia 76ers, shares that he has high praise for teammates LeBron James and Jaylen Brown as he continues adjusting to playing alongside them. He discusses his experience of getting to know the two stars and how his perspective changes over time.
Both outlets report that Edgecombe is on the younger side of the 76ers group, which initially made him more starstruck when he first joined or came into the orbit of the team’s established stars. Yahoo Sports adds that he says he is “not getting starstruck” anymore, indicating he has grown more comfortable and focused on everyday team life rather than reacting to fame.
While Newsweek emphasizes the positive assessment Edgecombe offers about James and Brown, Yahoo Sports focuses more directly on the shift in his mindset—from early amazement to a more normal routine. In both accounts, the common thread is Edgecombe’s developing rapport and confidence playing with veteran, high-profile teammates.
