AAU is all about $$$. Shoe companies, Coaches, Street Agents, Parents. Some programs are run better than others but $$$ is still the bottom line.

Cant blame aau, gotta blame the ppl ranking these kids at a early age
A elementary kid shouldnt even be ranked as a top player in his class, all that does is boost there ego which leads to iso ball/pick up style of play just to increase there exposure for the rest of there amateur career
Plus these nike & adidas camps dont even really teach fundamentals, they just take the top ranked players at each position & let them scrimmage against eachother
Its all about finding that next lebron or kd

For all I'm hearing of how skinny Wiggins is, not necessarily on this board, he's developing a nice post up game
He already has that half spin, head fake up and under move at 19
But besides that, just his willingness to go to the post has surprised me

Wiggins had a nice back to the basket game at Kansas. His instincts are apparent
He's impressed me this season even though others around NT haven't been
I still can't say I'm convinced he's a future franchise player but for me personally he's ahead of the curve of what I thought he'd be offensively

Atleast minny is forcing him to be a iso scorer & trying to get the best out of him instead of making him a role player
He'll be good as long as he doesnt have to take more than 2-3 dribbles like a early melo but idk if he'll be an elite scorer

Steph is my MVP at this point. Only thing separating him and Harden is team record IMO. Both are having great seasons.

Agree. If GSW holds on to the best record, I have a hard time seeing Steph not winning it.

Kobe knows nothing about AAU basketball or the state of USA basketball development.
To hear old people tell it amateur basketball was some idylic paradise before AAU appeared and destroyed everything. There are as many bad high school coaches as AAU coaches, don't belive the hype. And The quality of basketball at the Peach Jam is just as high probably higher than any high school tournament even NHSI.

also
more high school prospects, have xyzMAMBA as there twitter handles and claim that Kobe is their favorite player, so Kobe's game is they look up to and emulate, so if "Kids today" are the problem,Kobe might want to look in the miror and see who they follow.

This is pure gold, especially the bolded
"AAU basketball," Bryant said. "Horrible, terrible AAU basketball. It's stupid. It doesn't teach our kids how to play the game at all so you wind up having players that are big and they bring it up and they do all this fancy crap and they don't know how to post. They don't know the fundamentals of the game. It's stupid."
Bryant was born in Philadelphia, but when he was 6, his father, former NBA player Joe Bryant, moved the family to Italy to continue his playing career. Kobe spent his childhood in Europe until Joe retired in 1991 and moved the family back to the United States.
"When you have limitations and you understand your limitations and you stay within yourself, you can be great," Kobe Bryant said. "You know what you can do and what you can't do. In America, it's a big problem for us because we're not teaching players how to play all-around basketball. That's why you have Pau and Marc [Gasol], and that's the reason why 90 percent of the Spurs' roster is European players, because they have more skill."
