I like clean trash talk to the players like this.
It’s easy to say players prefer this to the really abusive stuff but I’d guess kinda players enjoy this kind of ribbing. Harmless enough that they can talk shit back without anybody getting in trouble. Cade definitely got a kick out of it
Also way more effort and knowledge than calling him trash or a bitch
Yuno Ball.
It seems like the best way to get them to respond positively is to mess with their Alma mater.
You lose all your aura when you hooting and hollering at the fact that he acknowledges your existence
Like don’t get me wrong, I get it, but you gotta stay chill lol
You can’t say “aura” and “hooting and hollering” in the same damn sentence.
why?
You need to log off
You lose all your aura by posting 1,400 comments in a 3 month span 😂
They’re like 15
He probably is too lmao
Cade, Moses Moody, Scottie Barnes, Ryan Nembhard, Day’ron Sharpe.
Vs.
The Ball Brothers and Onkeya Okongwu.
I don’t know about that one, young fellas
Cade and Scottie in highschool good fuckin luck Ball Brothers omg
Don’t forget Asa Newell. Another lottery pick and college star, currently part of the hawks rotation.
Edit: I’m wrong, Asa went to choctawatchee his first 2 years of hs, and got to montverde in 2022
Holy shit I checked the roster and they even had Dariq Whitehead and Caleb Houstan so that’s 7 NBA players. Take the 7 of them now and they can beat an NBA team (ofc w Cade and Scottie carrying most of the load) that also plays 7 players at least once in 10 games
The size of that roster for a high school basketball team is nuts
For reference, I have some insight here. My hs team had kobi simmons, Malik Beasley, and Kaiser gates and James banks (1 NBa starter 3 G leaguers 1 McDonald’s all American). We could compete with chino….. that montverde team would blow us out of the water and make us look small. Plus wasn’t Cade a Pg in hs??
Its honestly so cool being in school with a future nba player. My school had Jeff Teague, Marquis Teague, and Courtney Lee. City had Greg Oden, Mike Conley, Gordon Hayward, Eric Gordon, and George Hill. They were all playing at roughly the same time too except for Courtney Lee.
Why is every redditor this week a high school colleague of Malik Beasley. Did this guy have a graduating class of 10,000 people?
Bro Asa played with Cooper Flagg, wrong Montverde team
Shit you’re right, idk why I thought he was at montverde all 4 years. He got there in 2022
Good memory peregrine bro
Youre also wrong that hes a part of the rotation lol
He was getting minutes daily before his injury
Tough to call him part of the rotation, it hasn’t been consistent at all
I don’t know really but that chino team with the brothers was special and they ran through teams. Lonzo was looking like the next big thing to hit the league at one point
They went 33-3 and were ranked 2nd in California to a team that beat them.
Montverde went 25-0, and had way more size. I’m taking Montverde.
They went 36-0 and were number one in the country. https://www.maxpreps.com/ca/chino-hills/chino-hills-huskies/basketball/15-16/schedule/
You seem to have the wrong record for Chino in 2016.
They went 35-0
https://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-chino-hills-sondheimer-20160328-column.html
Yup they were nasty with lonzo running the team that year. Gelo with a weird 2k bully sniper build too lol OO a lotto big man as well, really fun team and kind of the first big social media sensation imo
I think Chino Hills is top purely because it wasn’t a put together team like the prep schools.
That would be so fun to watch ngl
It’s pretty wild to favor Chino Hills there. Chino Hills had a few close games (including a one-point win against R.J. Barrett’s Montverde squad) while that 2020 Montverde team destroyed EVERYBODY. That Chino Hills team has a strong claim to the greatest public high school team of all time, but that Montverde squad has a an argument for greatest HS team of all time, period.
It would have been a fun match up to watch, though.
Chino Hills annihilated the best team in the nation that season. They blew out every team.
It’s really cade and Scottie vs lonzo and ball. Onyeka probably the next one out of the bunch
Didn’t Verde also have a Freshman Flagg or no?
No Flagg wasn’t on that team
Also had Asa Newell.
Chino Hills is not losing.
It’s not about how good these players are today, it’s about how both of these teams played in HS and no one is beating that Chino Hills team like that. Cade was great but those other dudes were far from their current level. Like a HS LiAngelo Ball is a better player than almost all of them (but he’s not a NBA player today)
LiAngelo was a 3 star recruit and like the 80th ranked recruit in his class. Lots of high school players in that time period were better than him. Don’t let hype moments and aura blind you.
Better in projection but I think he’s saying he was a HS cheatcode due to the style of play and his skill set. So he wasn’t ranked high but in a game he might drop 50
Chino Hills didn’t lose a game, smacked the piss out of Matre Dei, #1 ranked school in the country.
The Chino Hills team was playing a freakish level of basketball for high school, had 3 top 10 NBA talents. Even great high school teams struggled to get the ball over halfcourt against them.
It would be a close game but to say Montverde would be clear winners is just wrong when Lonzo was a far superior HS player to the rest of em.
In 2016 Melo and Oko are 15. The full court pressing/ cherry picking ain’t working against 2020 Monteverde.
How in the hell are that confident in this? 😆
Modey Moosey?
Can someone explain
Do these uber talented kids all transfer to these high-schools? Or are they all born and raised in local areas?
Are their parents moving their house/job/family just for these guys to play at a certain HS?
It varies. Montverde is the former. They’re a private boarding school. Those players are scouted and recruited from all over the country. They go there to play basketball. Montverde is in Florida, Cade is from Texas, Sharpe is from North Carolina, Nembhard is from Canada.
Chino Hills on the other hand is a public school and that team consisted of the three Ball bros who live in the area and Onyeka Okongwu who is from the LA area (not sure exactly where). So that kind of came organically. Some high level programs will get other great local players to transfer to their school.
Monteverde gets the best kids from around the world, not just the country.
I was about to say the same thing lol. Look at their rosters, it’s essentially a college.
2016 Chino Hills beat Monterverde when they had RJ Barrett too.
Looks like montverde had a chunk of international kids as well
Kind of regarding Chino Hills. People will also choose, especially in Southern California, to move to or transfer their kids to local powerhouse schools for whatever sport their kid plays. My HS was a golf/water polo powerhouse, one of the other HS in the district was a football powerhouse. Both of our schools were pulling attendance from 45 minutes for the respective programs.
A public high school near me played against Brewster Academy a couple years ago. Half the roster wasn’t from within this country, let alone from the New Hampshire or New England area (although ironically their two main guys were)
Who won? And what was the score?
it was close! Brewster won 88-30.
It should be noted that, while the public school they played is usually pretty good, they were having a bad year and didn’t even beat my school in conference play
So you beat the spread, congratulations!
Most transfer. When I see that someone went to Monteverde, I look it up and usually they went to a local high school somewhere else for the year or two and then transferred there.
So do these kids potential commute an hour or more to school everyday?
Montverde has room and board options. They live on campus.
For a High School??
That’s nuts lmao, is it a private school? Or can anyone go there if they live like down the street
Cade is from Texas while the school is in Florida. And theyre collecting Canadians for some reason. So no.
Likely is a dorm situation. Or something like do in the OHL (super niche reference for here, most likely) where have heavily screened families that stay with.
Transfer. It’s different when you’re identified as having high potential. You gotta move like a professional adult athlete would.
Transfer. Some make names for themselves after recruitment and others have a pipeline and history of being good high schools. Even on a lower level this happens, for example a high school in your district that’s “known for basketball” all of a sudden the 6’7 kid from 4 towns over attends there
Prep school vs public school
To be fair that Chino Hills team beat Montverde and Mater Dei that year and they are both elite private schools for basketball
Yep it’s the best public school team ever and thus far more impressive than 2020 Montverde
This is why everyone still loves that 2016 Chino Hills team. Yeah Lavar may have had a big mouth but I think everyone loved it just because most top prospects go to these private prep schools
These are the fan interactions I love
Made that kid’s year
Believe it or not, a kid who can sit courtside is…..still a kid.
Cade was in high school 6 years ago? That seems crazy
A lot nba players were in high school 6 years ago.
Some in middle school too lol
Some of them were in the NBA
Some of them were dead
Sometimes it throws me off too but nba players get drafted so young it makes sense. The one and done rookies were in HS like 2 years ago
I watched this video like ten times. I can’t hear the “damn” lol
5 words and they turned into hyenas lol
Edit: if you read my comment and take it as a jab or negative, that’s on you, not my problem.
Be so honest, if an All-Star level player says something to you youre gonna freak out too.
And who says otherwise?
Probably some buzzkills who are gonna show up in this thread eventually
Alright man
Not really 😭 maybe if you’re parasocial sure
Parasocial and star struck are different things bro
I had to think about it for a moment, but you right
I mean shi I’d definitely never forget it at least, flexing tf outta that at the lunch table
They’re young geez louise let them live
I didn’t say anything about the kids?? They said “you” lol I was replying in that regard. You should reread the original comment and my response to it. Didn’t say anything about the kids at all my man.
I don’t know bro, I’d deffo freak out😭
This probably the best thing ever to these kids let them have their moment
They’re courtside lol I doubt it
Yeah whose sons are these??
Why do you take my comment as a negative? That’s on you
I’d be showing this clip to everyone I know
When multiple different people all read your comment the same way it means it has something to do with how you wrote it btw. Big “everybody is dumb except for me” energy.
Yeah, cuz 5 people are a good measurement for it lol ok dude
They’re kids dude
If you take this comment as something negative or a jab, that’s your reading, not my problem
Tryna farm upvotes on the wrong post 😂Take your sensitive ass somewhere else man.. he was obviously being lighthearted about his comment.
That’s good, fun, heckling right there.
Good clean smack talk. I love it
People remember the Chino Hills highlights, which were iconic, but 2020 Montverde had Cade, Scottie Barnes, Moses Moody, and Day Ron Sharpe. That team was winning games by an average of 39 points. It wouldn’t even be close.
Chino Hills was winning by an average of 28 points against better teams, so
Monteverde beat IMG (admittedly 3x) and Ron Holland
Chino Hills beat Monteverde (ft RJ Barrett and Anf Simons), TJ Leaf 3x, Bam 2x, Nick Richards, Jordan Poole, Kessler Edwards, Aaron Rodgers, Zach Collins, and Marvin Bagley
Don’t overthink it trying to power scale teams with high school kids. Cade and Scottie and 5 nba players are beating lamelo lonzo onyeka and randoms
Aaron Rodgers?
They were absolutely not playing better teams. When they finally played a prep school (Monteverde), they won by one point. That Monteverde team didn’t even come close to the talent that Cades team had.
That 2015⁄16 class had good top end talent but was absolutely lackluster everywhere else. Cades team and overall class was much more successful in college and the NBA. 90% of the players u mentioned that Chino Hills beat was not successful in the NBA or college compared to the 2020 class.
The closest games Cades team had was an 8 point win and a 12 point win. They won by an average 39 points a game. That Chino Hills team was not beating them.
Played in the same big national tournament as 2016 Chino. It was an early season tournament and I didn’t know much about them at the time. Their style of basketball was unlike anything I had ever seen. They were blowing the doors off the top prep schools in the country. With the right game plan I think a great team like 2020 Monteverde could slow them down, but if they went into the game blind on how Chino played it would have been really tough to adjust on the fly and slow down their crazy offense.
How are so many kids sitting courtside nowadays? That’s pretty cool
That’s what I’m saying! I go to a few games a year and always try to get good seats, but I’ve never seen anything courtside for a price I could stomach. Best I’ve managed so far is 2nd row behind the basket of Suns vs Spurs.
Cade and em?
Who was on the squads?
2020 Montverde had Cade Cunningham, Scottie Barnes, Ryan Nembhard, Moses Moody, and Day’Ron Sharpe. 2016 Chino Hills had Lonzo, LaMelo, and LiAngelo Ball plus Elizjah Scott and Onyeka Okongwu.
Thanks. Chino hills getting smoked
Why are they all doing the chin touch emote on repeat
Chino Hills was playing 2K on rookie mode with cherry-picking turned on while 2020 Montverde was basically an actual NBA G-League Ignite roster. Cade isn’t even exaggerating.
Chino fried top private schools
That’s awesome. Ahaha
I love Cade. It’s crazy glaze but I named my son after him. Not even because of his skills but just loved that name with both last names being long.
I don’t know what any of that means
2016 Chino Hills Highschool team(Ball brothers Onyeka Okongwu) would beat the 2020 Montverde Highschool team(Cade, Scottie, Moodey, Sharpe, Ryan Nembhard, etc.)
Oh ok. Cade is right then, that fan is out his damn mind lol
They are outta their minds, Chino would get dog walked
Alright let’s not get carried away
Why hold the chin when talking tho??
