New NBA star’s brother goes viral for his reaction to Brooklyn Nets pick

The 2025 NBA Draft proved to be an emotional evening for one supporting family member after a clip of him crying went viral on social media. 

On Wednesday night, Michigan Wolverines center Danny Wolf became the 27th pick of the draft after being selected by the Brooklyn Nets. 

Many had expected Wolf to be picked earlier in the night and footage showed the 21-year-old anxiously waiting for a decision alongside his brother, Jake. 

Eventually, once Danny was picked by Brooklyn, it was Jake’s reaction which caught attention on social media as he bawled his eyes out on ESPN’s broadcast. 

Footage showed a close up of an emotional Jake, who struggled to hold back tears and was forced to cover his face as he reacted to the news.

Similarly to his brother, Jake – who stands at 6 foot 11 inches – also played basketball.

He played four years of basketball four Lake Forest Academy before heading to Washington University in St. Louis.

He played there between 2021 and 2023. In his final season there, he featured in all 27 games and averaged 4.7 points and a team-leading 5.4 rebounds per game.

Meanwhile, his brother Danny was one of four Brooklyn draft picks on the evening, the last of the quartet to hear his name called in the first round. 

The Nets final two selections of Wolf and Ben Saraf marked a milestone for the NBA, as they became the first Israeli teammates in the league. 

One of Wolf’s first actions as a Brooklyn Net was to correct his mother, Tina Wolf, on live television, by making sure she knew he was not drafted by the New York Knicks. 

The Wolf family conducted a live television interview minutes after he was drafted, with Danny’s father, Josh Wolf, standing in between his NBA son and wife. 

While the 7-foot Wolf stood in a Nets hat, Tina took to the mic to talk about how proud she was of her son. ‘We’re so excited to go to New York! It was what he wanted and it happened!’

Danny can be seen mouthing, ‘Brooklyn! Brooklyn!’ to his mother to correct her and not interrupt her interview.
