4-Point Play: Brandon Garrison buys his mom a BMW

We may be in the dog days of summer, but that doesn't mean Kentucky basketball is slowing down anytime soon. With practices ramping up, draft leftovers and NBA Summer League coming and recruiting about to hit its peak, there is plenty to talk about here in July.

We'll touch on a little bit of everything tonight on 4-Point Play.

This is why NIL can be awesome

Right when you think NIL has spun college sports out of control, a new story pops up to help you remember why it was necessary to begin with — this one coming right out of the Joe Craft Center.

Oklahoma State transfer Brandon Garrison is finding his footing in Lexington as a prized addition for Pope this offseason. In the meantime, the former McDonald's All-American is taking care of the one who help put him in this position to begin with: Momma.

Garrison shared on social media he was able to purchase his mother, Toni Lewis, a new BMW this summer after making the move to Kentucky.

"Blessed!!! Nothing but God man..." the Wildcat big man wrote on Instagram. "Blessed to be able to put my ma behind new wheels man."

"Thank you SO MUCH SON. I can't stop crying! Tears of joy. All that we have been through," she responded. "Not having a place to stay when we were younger, barely food to feed you all. Working a low end job. Putting miles making a way to get you to tournaments and college visits in my (old) Nissan. But I did it because I knew the gift God gave you is a blessing."
