Episode description

Anthony Black takes his “Big Texas Hair” and even Bigger Game to Orlando. He stands at 6’7’’, 7’7’’ with hair and is one of the best all-around players in the country with an extremely high Basketball IQ! The 6th Pick overall in the NBA Draft is already paying huge dividends to the Magic. Thanks to early season injuries, the Stud Rookie is already contributing in the rotation and making it a seamless transition. 

In High School, he was heavily recruited as a Basketball and Football Player. Arkansas, Texas, and Baylor had eyes on him to play receiver where he was always open above his head at Coppell High School. He transferred and was the MVP on Duncanville’s 2022 State Championship Basketball team. That title was eventually stripped because he was ruled ineligible by UIL transfer rules. But, Anthony averaged 13.5 ppg, 5.8 rebs, 2.2 steals on the nation’s #1 High School Basketball Team. It was like a show every time the Panthers took the court having 2 McDonald’s All-Americans with Anthony and Texas Gatorade Player of the Year Ron Holland. Black has been surrounded by legendary coaches… David Peavy at Duncanville and Eric Musselman at Arkansas. The Hogs were special and loaded with great young talent including Texas State Champion Jordan Walsh of Faith Family in Oak Cliff. What a run by Arkansas where they took out Defending National Champ Kansas on the way to the Sweet-16!

Draft night was special for Anthony and his family as Orlando made his dreams come true. It was a fun night to watch his buddy Keyonte George (Baylor) go in the first round as well to the Utah Jazz. Keep an eye on Anthony’s younger brother Beckham of the 2027 Class. Anthony says he’s more advanced than he was at that age! Anthony will be the first to tell you that his Mom Jennifer is the driving force behind his greatness and he’s thankful for her, every day!
