Brikitta Kool-Daniels, Viral NBA Draft Mom of Dyson Daniels, in the White Dress, Reflects on Her Journey Across Different Worlds

On Thursday night, while watching the 2023 NBA Draft, NBA moms experienced flashbacks.

In an Instagram post, Brikitta Kool-Daniels, who gained notoriety when the Pelicans selected her son, Dyson Daniels, seventh overall in last year’s draft, gushed that she was “reliving it all.”

Brikitta posted a montage of images from the Brooklyn Barclays Center’s 2022 NBA Draft along with the comment “12 [months] later” and a question for her followers: “Who will you be supporting?”

After Brikitta made an appearance on stage alongside Dyson Daniels, a graduate of the G League Ignite, last year wearing a breathtaking white outfit, NBA Twitter fell in love with her.

Prior to being taken third overall by Portland on Thursday, Scoot Henderson previously played for the G League Ignite for two years.

Along with Brikitta, Daniels’ father Ricky attended the 2022 draft in the midst of the Twitter commotion, which she appeared to address a few days later on Instagram.
