Introducing: Ethan Telfair


Many people including myself wondered what happen to Sebastian Telfair’s little brother after the ending of “Through The Fire”. The end of the movie showed Ethan Telfair training for basketball at six in the morning. Well Telfair has surfaced and I saw him doing work this Saturday in Queens, NY at the All City Youth Classic.

I have to admit I was very curious to see what this young dude had in store. I mean many star players had little brothers that didn't usually possess similar skills as the older sibling but this was not the case in young Ethan. He started the game by penetrating to the cup for consecutive left hand finishes while also getting fouled. Then the youngster AKA Fed Ex showed why he got that nickname. Telfair unleashed his superb passing ability the even surprised me as I looked on. The kid just has the knack of finding open teammates whether they are running with, in front or trailing him. Before the game was through Ethan also showed me he could hit the outside shot by dropping home a couple of deep shots including trey balls.

He walked out the gym with the game MVP and a new name. In my book he’s no longer Sebastian’s little brother on the floor he’s now Ethan
Telfair.
