You might know him as Doc Rivers’ son, but make no mistake; Austin Rivers has enough game to garner his own name. Entering his senior year at Winter Park High School (Winter Park, Fl.), Rivers is currently ranked as the No. 2 high school player in the Nation by most experts.
After earning Rookie of the Year honors last year, Tyreke Evans has sights set on putting his team in the playoff picture. The Kings have quietly had a productive season, most notably drafting Demarcus Cousins with the 5th pick in this year’s NBA Draft.
Boost Mobile has put together the 24 best high school players in the nation regardless of class or shoe affiliation. Last night at HAX, all the players took part in a scrimmage against some players in the league. It was no easy task for these kids from the 2011 and 2012 class when they went up against the likes of Brandon Jennings, Tyreke Evans, Demar Derozan, and John Wall. Every one of the High School players will be going to Division I schools, and a few others will make it to the league once eligible, but they had never faced competition like last night.
Is there really a better way to go when in doubt? Bill Clinton never slept with Monica Lewinsky, O.J. Simpson didn’t kill his wife, and Barry Bonds never knowingly took steroids.
Even though it’s the offseason, it seems like Basketball has taken over the country. From Corey Fisher’s 105 points in a street-ball game last week to the World Basketball Festival that has taken over Madison Square Garden and legendary Rucker Park in New York City, and even to the Hall of Fame inductions of Scottie Pippen, Karl Malone, and the 1960 and 1992 U.S.A Dream Teams, Basketball is still in full swing.
Team Flight Brothers consists of some of the best dunkers in the world. They showcased their talent at Nike’s 3-on-3 Tournament at L.A. Live this weekend. Check out T-Dub’s insane 540 Dunk to win the dunk contest and many other dunks that are worthy of many “ohhs” and “ahhs.”
At 5’9 T-Dub shows you why he is arguably the best dunker in any competition.
New Team Flight Brothers’ member shows why they call him “Flight.”

It seems to be spreading rapidly throughout the league. Much like twitter, players can be found jumping ship faster than Lindsey Lohan can violate her probation. Great players in this league are balking at the ultimate challenge bestowed upon them; to lead a team to a championship.
Two weeks since the tipoff of free agency, it’s clear that our very own Minnesota Timberwolves are this year’s winner. They traded their best player Al Jefferson to the Utah Jazz for, yes, more draft picks and then acquired two number two overall picks. One was from the 2003 draft and no, it wasn’t LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, or Chris Bosh. It was Darko Milicic and it only cost the Wolves $20 million dollars. The other number two pick is Michael Beasley, the underachieving player the Miami Heat gladly shipped. How will they replace him?
