This clip of Missouri’s Phil Pressey is just stupid. During a play at the 2010 TABC Allstar Game in San Antonio, the 5-8 (at the time) Pressey came down the middle of the lane and just destroyed 6-8 future college teammate Tony Mitchell.
Pressey kills him and then is somehow still rising – just insane: MORE >

Here’s all you need to know: Jon Scheyer scored 21 points in 75 seconds in front of 3,990 fans. One of them just happened to be Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski. Jon’s team lost, but Scheyer finished the game with 52 points and left to a standing ovation from the opposing fans. Well deserved.
High school basketball doesn’t get any better than this. MORE >

Holy good God these highlights are incredible. As we were catching up on results of the City of Palms Tournament that is going right now in Fort Myers, Florida, we rediscovered the highlights of last summer’s City of Palms dunk contest.

We came across this video of an Ohio TV news piece on a 16-year old LeBron James that was filmed the summer after his sophomore year at St. Vincent-St. Mary in Akron.
The piece gives you a little insight into the mind of young ‘Bron and where he was headed right from the jump with this quote: “They say I’m the best player in the country and I want to keep it that way.” MORE >

Unless you live under a rock, you know that Indiana shocked the world this weekend, when their program came back from the dead to get No.1 Kentucky in Bloomington.
Credit for the resurgence of the Hoosiers program can be attributed to a lot things, but there’s nothing more vital to their comeback than Tom Crean landing local freshman center/forward Cody Zeller. The best of the three D1 Zeller Brothers, it doesn’t take a genius to see that the foundation for an NBA Lottery pick are in place. He’s just about 7-feet, supremely skilled, and as we saw on Saturday, not fazed by the bright lights. MORE >
