Good read. I know that one of the most obvious differences is post play. I think that once an American kid gets labeled as a post player, their youth coach puts their back to the basket. That's good and all...but it's no coincidence that European post players can actually shoot free throws and American post players suck. It's because overseas EVERY player is taught how to shoot..handle the ball..make finess passes.

 

Too much about athleticism, dunking, snowbirding...etc. going downhill fast.

 

dont get me wrong...I love watching freak athletes play the game well. But..something will never change. Shoot, handle the ball, pass, defend.

 

Like LJ said...something is being left out somewhere.

​I'm a little confused here. And I am not saying you are wrong... BUT!!!!! 99.9% of all the kids who were drafted into the NBA this year (last year, da year befoe dat and so on) played AAU.

WHATTTT!!!! Bron's son plays in the same organization my kids use to play in as 4th - 6th graders. LOL!!!!

Yep, they (Gulf Coast Blue Chips '2023) played up 3 divisions to 13u at the AAU nationals (the big one in Memphis) this summer.  They finished 2nd. And Brony is the second best player on the team.  The best?  Jared Harris of Silsbee.  Not even kidding. 

And here come the Hawks!  In 3, 2, 1....

​I have been made aware of this young man from people in the know. Been told he is the real deal from the likes of Jim Hicks and others.

Heard some good things about the Harris kid,  a move in from Silsbee. One of those shoe company teams wants him for the future.

      After his silly conviction, President Trump has raised over 200 Million dollars!  The people are seeing through it!  Excellent!

      Let’s see if joe biden’s words about no one is above the law, made after the rigged trial of President Trump, rings true with his po💩son.  Hopefully, but I’m not going to hold my breath, they put the sorry sob in prison.

      I liked his no bull crap attitude. He was a man of very few words. Extremely strong and freaky athletic!!! As close as possible to being the best offensive lineman to ever play the game. I hope his family finds peace without him!!! RIP #73

      State Tournament

      By Chester86 · Posted

      Chester, a small town in NE Tyler County.  A town that is seeing growth with the addition of a national chain store and a new school being built.  If you travel 287 toward Dallas from the Golden Triangle you have probably passed through Chester.  Things tend to stay pretty consistent and it is your typical small town.   A trip to state is the buzz around town, and the talk before church services begin on Sunday.  This year’s graduating class will number 11.  We don’t have a radio station that covers the Yellowjackets.  We are never a lead story on any of the news stations that broadcast to our community. With all that said, there is a closeness and sense of pride in our community.  Every community rallies behind their kids as they progress into the playoffs.  We are proud of our boys as they have represented our community well and with class. We invite you to follow our boys as they go to state.  We welcome the greater SETX communities as honorary Yellowjackets.  Tune in, watch live or come to Round Rock personally and join us in supporting the Chester Yellowjackets.  Go ‘Jackets!!! ⚾️💜💛⚾️🟣🟡⚾️💜💛⚾️
