Recently, former NBA player Rivers Jr. talked about Edgecombe on the "Off Guard" program.

Little Rivers said: "VJ is incredible. I think of Reed Shepard. People say that was the first game. Shepard faced Carson Wallace, so he struggled. So what happened? VJ also faced Derrick White. White was defending, but he scored 34 points. He was extremely confident. When he was 15 years old, he thought he was better than me."
