Brandon Boston named Athlete of the Year in California

Another day, another big-time accolade for incoming Kentucky Basketball freshman, BJ Boston.

On Thursday, Boston was named California’s Basketball Player of the Year and Athlete of the Year. Two fantastic honors and it adds to a list of achievements and recognition Boston has had for his play on the court.

3-time NBA Champion Stephen Curry announced the Basketball Player of the Year Award, while recent Super Bowl Champion Patrick Mahomes announced the Athlete of the Year. Check out the video below that Boston’s father posted.

California is full of fantastic athletes and immense talent on the basketball court, so to see Boston take both of these awards home is special.
