    I love how everyone else looks young af but Randle already looks like he’s in his late 20s lmao

  2. DisMeDog

    Can someone tell me when the switch happened from where players organically came into the game to these guys who have basically been groomed to be NBA superstars from childhood? I have been trying to pinpoint when this became the norm but I can’t figure it out.

    D’Angelo Russell already be snitching at a young age.

  4. HoopsHistoryHubb

    This was iconic in 2010s nba culture once these guys made the league and this vid was made. Briscoe still a bucket too it’s insane how talented the very bottom of the league is

  5. Karl-AnthonyDowns

    Lol Kennedy Meeks didn’t make the cut to get mentioned

  6. certainshadeofblue7

    Hart just standing in the back is the most Hart thing I’ve seen

  7. Room_Temp_Coffee

    Is the league going to become all AAU players?

  8. AfricanWarPig

    Devin Booker looks like a feral ghoul in this clip.

  9. Remarkable_Tale_9238

    Actually crazy it’s been that long since prime Blake Griffin

  10. Happy-dayz-NC

    How do these high school scouts guess these kids skill and potential so well? It’s like most these kids at this camp went to the league damn

  11. Intelligent_West7128

    Jeremy Lamb is the one who was over Deangelo Russell’s shoulder.

    always loved this video and wish i could even be 1/20th of blake griffin’s physique

    Its actually nuts to think about how small the road to the NBA looks when u see vids like this of future players being in like, basketball camps/events held by players. Like, wasn’t there a future NBA player too during Lebron’s “The Decision” coverage on ESPN? Could’ve sworn one of the kids there eventually made it to the NBA.

    It’s actually so mental how a lot of the ones in the video made it to the NBA, weren’t they still middle schoolers/high schoolers at the time?

    at some point this moment will be a 30 for 30 documentary

  15. ExiledSpaceman

    Wasn’t there a video of Blake reacting to this going: “Man I didn’t even warm up”

  16. broadwayallday

    Josh Hart way in the back is just funny because it’s Josh Hart

  17. anexpectedfart

    Bobby Portis was all the way in the back but I bet he still saw that in 4K

  18. Jameszhang73

    My brain can’t comprehend the fact that Bobby Portis was in high school in 2012

  19. RealPrinceJay

    ngl you’ve got a pretty solid team here lol

    DLo/Booker/JHart/Randle/Portis

    LaVine as a super 6th man(better than DLO, but just trying to slot a PG. Guess Booker can run point well enough tho)

  20. Massive-Celery-7926

    Randle lookin like Greg Oden in hs 😭

  21. AntSmith777

    Why these dudes all look like private school kids? 🤣

  22. lowkeyslightlynerdy

    Coulda sworn I saw Jabari Smith Jr In here like 6 times but I know the timeline isn’t right lmao

  23. porterbrown

    Short length.  My abstract concept of the past 40 years has a lot to do with fashion.  Shorts are a tell. 

  24. The-Pharcyde

    The difference between Randle and Book lmao. Dlo practically a mini version of himself now too lol.
