Over the weekend in Long Beach, Eastbay and Ballislife joined forces for their annual All-American Game.
Hosting high school hoopers from all over the country, the spring showcase has featured high flyers like Donovan Mitchell and Zach Lavine in the past, proving a launching pad for the likes of Trae Young and Mac McClung just the same.
This time around, the talent pool was once again deep as the two titans in hoops gifted this year’s class with vintage All-Star game-inspired uniforms and loud kicks from Crossover Culture.
While plenty of the hoopers showed out in the Eastbay-exclusive sneakers, other players elected to rock rotation favorites ranging from LeBron 16s to Harden Vol 3s.
See what the future of basketball broke out in the 2019 Eastbay x Ballislife All-American Game below.
+ Balling in the Bronx, Precious Anchiuwa kept his South Beach in his Crossover Culture kicks
+ Tyrese Maxey foreshadowed rocking plenty of heat next year for Coach Cal at Kentucky
+ Florida has another high profile point guard in Tre Mann
+ As a Gator he’ll be laced with exclusive heat from Jordan Brand
+ Born to let it go, Boogie Ellis was knocking down big shots in “Medicine Ball” LeBrons
+ Headed to Duke, he’ll have plenty of PEs this fall
+ Cassius Stanley is the next blue chip turned Blue Devil
+ Destined for Duke, he kept it in the bloodline by rocking Kyries
+ USC has a big man that can run in Isaiah Mobley
+ He’ll lace Nikes in LA but for now he’s rocking with the adidas Harden Vol 3
+ Vanderbilt commit Scotty Pippen Jr. plays the point and does so in Kyries
+ His proud pops was in the audience, also a member of the Nike family
+ Mario McKinney may have been the most fun player to watch in the whole game
+ Attempting wild passes and dropping dunks, he did so in custom AJ11s
+ Making the most of his seeded shoes, Trendon Watford was the only player to mismatch the latest from Crossover Culture
+ Trendon is currently undeclared, but at 6’8 he definitely has the frame of an NBA 4 spot
+ Texas Tech will be right back in the Final 4 if Jahmius Ramsey has anything to say about it
+ Big, strong and smooth, Ramsey led his Duncanville High School team to a State Championship this spring in Texas
+ Jalen House is a quick guard who can shoot that thing
+ Headed to Arizona State, he’s a walking bucket just like his pops, Eddie House
+ Arizona commit Terry Armstrong was on the break and above the rim the whole game
+ Living up to the Wildcats before him, Terry took his shoe game to another level by rocking the “Aunt Pearl” KDs
+ 6’1 Point Guard DJ Carton is a high-flying floor general who also competed in the Dunk Contest
+ Look for Carton to lace up Nikes this fall at Ohio State
