Tristen Keys is one of the most talented and most exciting players to watch on the field, on the track, or on the court. Since we are in the middle of the NBA playoffs, a place Tristen could very well end up in a few years with his once in a lifetime talents, let's focus on basketball for now.
We caught up with TK for an exclusive fun interview. So, let us introduce TK to the world!
As far as talent wise, he's so talented that he could play anything from the 2-4 position. That's anything from shooting guard to small forward. One of the reasons he's a fan favorite is because he typically hangs out above the rim, literally. He's one of the greatest high school dunkers period.
"I'm very versatile and have been blessed with many good abilities & those abilities catches a lot of people eyes!"-Â Tristen Keys
We asked Tk about why he prefers to dunk instead of shooting? "Dunking is a great ability to have but in game I prefer dunking because I feel that it bring more dominance and excitement to the game nowadys!" he said, although he feels what he does best is "hit the mid-range and drive."
Speaking of NBA playoffs, we asked Tristen about who his favorite NBA Team is and obviously for a lot of young players in TK's generation, it's the Memphis Grizzlies. A big reason why is also because one of his favorite players include Memphis Star Ja Morant. Just watching Ja dance after he scores and watching Tk dance after he does something successful, you see why that's his favorite player. Yes, Lebron James is also one of his favorite players along with Kevin Durant.
For a 16 year old in the 10th grade, standing at 6'2 and 177 lbs of muscle, he's special, he's talented, and he's different than most athletes on any high school sports team. We asked him what makes him so different than practically everybody else? He responded, "I think I'm very versatile and have been blessed with many good abilities and those abilities catches a lot of people eyes!"
Indeed it does!
