As the high school basketball season comes to an end and players gear up for AAU (travel) basketball I felt obligated to reissue our blog from 2015. This blog centered around quotes from (at the time) NBA players (Kobe Bryant & Lebron James) and NBA veterans (Robert Horry, Steve Kerr and Charles Barkley). Where each speak on their “issue” with AAU (youth) basketball .

Please feel free to check out the full blog post (link in bio) and if you are reading this for the first time- thank you and, as always, choose wisely. If you are re-reading our 8 year blog- thank you and we would appreciate your thoughts on the topic.
