    Right now there are 84.8K people watching the stream of their matchup in Vegas at the Adidas classic. That's bananas! 85,000 people watching two HS kids go at it. Dame is even at the game!

    I watched 1~2 minutes. 10 Hardens on the court would play more defense.

    Also who's Zion ?

    Yawn. There's paint drying on the wall somewhere.

    Why no OT: in the subject line. That's a rookie mistake if I ever saw one. We expect better from you.














    Actually, we don't.

    I forget, most on here don't watch basketball if it's not our Blazers. Thought there'd be some curiosity in two of the top HS basketball players in the country playing against each other. Dame is in the house and Lebron showed up and police asked if he would not go in because of the oversized crowd.

    A HS kid who has been compared to a combination of Larry Johnson and Shawn Kemp. Guy is a beast.

    So, you're admitting it's your fault the cops wouldn't let LeBron in.

    I was trying to think of who he reminded me of. Good call.

    The only clips I ever see of that Zion dunking are in the tiniest of gyms. Does he play in an equivalent of class 2A in whatever state he's from? Also, from the clips, that AAU ball they're playing is unwatchable. College basketball is hard enough to watch at times.

    Neither have NBA futures. All Zion does is dunk. Don't know what lamelo does well.
