Milaysia Fulwiley Wikipedia And Age

The new basketball sensation Milaysia Fulwiley hails from Columbia, South Carolina, and previously attended WJ Keenan High School. Milaysia was born on April 21, 2005, and is currently 18 years old.

Fulwiley began playing the sport at age three when her mother, Phelliccia Mixon, bought her a basketball as a birthday present. Fulwiley’s early basketball training began at Crane Forest Park, where she first began dreaming of becoming a professional basketball player. 

Standing at 5’10, Fulwiley plays as a guard and has always been a confident player from a young age. Her interview with UANESWORLD last year perfectly highlighted her confidence. 

UANESWORLD began the conversation, asking the youngster at what age she realized she was going to be a basketball phenom. After a bit of thinking, Fulwiley said, “Ten.”     

People around her neighborhood knew her talent, and Milaysia would be going head-to-head against players older than her, and most of the time, it would be boys. 

Fulwiley said she gets her confidence from practicing multiple times a day. She also added being a gym rat has helped her build her confidence. 

During her conversation with UANESWORLD, Milaysia also talked about her conversation with Stephen Curry. She said Curry is one of her basketball inspirations for throwing the deep threes. 

The talented player also added that the Lakers player, LeBron James, is an inspiration behind one of her behind-the-back moves.

Fulwiley said she saw LeBron pulling out that move during one of the NBA Finals and thought, “Oh my God! That was so easy. I think I can do that move.”

At WJ Keenan, Fulwiley averaged 24.8 points, 6.1 assists, and 1.8 blocks per game. She became a three-time SCBCA 3A Player of the Year and was named to the All-America team.
