Re: AAU Nationals

I was just in Fort Wayne in the AYBT nationals (July 19-23) representing my hometown Hamilton..here in Canada..We lost in the finals to Plymouth a team which we beat in round robin by 15...We lost because of pure fatique we had to play our quarter final, semi final and final games back to back and we had nothing left after beating hometown Wizards in the semi finals. It was a pretty sweet tournament and the Speice center is an AMAZING facility. Just wait till you see all the jerseys hanging up. The camera crew was also great, they caught a dope pic of me throwing down a 1 hander on Grand Rapids.

You guys should hire Tom Emanski and The Crime Dog. They don't coach basketball, but back to back to back AAU National Championships can't lie.

Re: AAU Nationals

Never for basketball, but I went to Nationals three times for baseball. Highest we finished was 12th.

Re: AAU Nationals

whats up? im finally back. got in around 2:00 am last night. the trip was awsome. i think my team finished in a 4 way tie for 10th place.

we played poorly in pool play, but once the tournament started we started playing really well. playing at Spiece Fieldhouse was the best part of the trip. the place is ridiculous. unlimited amount of sports memorbilia all of the place. it was also cool getting to play at HS "gyms" that were really stadiums. there were the size of small college gyms and gigantic compared to the gyms in NC. it was also cool getting to see college scouts at your game. even though they definitly werent looking at me.

Re: AAU Nationals

Just got back today from Orlando and the Open bracket.

Saw OJ Mayo play twice, that kid is overrated as hell. The buzz from a majority of the major DI coaches watching the game was "I don't see the hype". There was another kid on his squad who's 6'7" and headed to Florida that was plain sick.

Also saw Jordan's kid play a couple times, he's pretty small but caught a nice alley-oop one game. His old man was in the stands for one game too, kinda cool to see MJ again.

Re: AAU Nationals

Nice ehh. any defense being played?

Ive seen a few AAU games and its nothing but cherry picking and run and gun phoenix suns style. Its hard to judge these guys when they have to play in a setting where defense is played

Nah there was no D at all, but that's same 'ol same 'ol. Basically it's just a show of athletic ability more than a true basketball player.

That's why I'm even more shocked at how unimpressive OJ Mayo was.
