  • In 2016, the Ball Brothers led Chino Hills to a 35-0 record. Cementing their place in history as one of the best high school basketball teams of all time. But Lonzo, Liangelo, and Lamelo were not the only players on that team that have found success at the next level... so what happened to the other guys on that legendary squad?

    Current CHHS student here. It feels like a completely different school watching these videos, and not in a good way. Not many ppl talk about them still at school obviously, but a lot of teachers still brag about having one of the Ball Brothers' signatures on old assignments

    Best team Ive ever watched, 2000 Jefferson Democrats (Portland, Oregon). Brandon Brooks, Aaron Miles…Jesus that team was so deep. I used to go watch them play after my own games at another high school. They were incredible, undefeated, I think, and showtime. Remember thinking Evergreen High school and James Davis (5’7 dude who played at Oregon) was going to give them a good game but Jeff blew them out and was running and dunking like the 87 Lakers. Brandon Brooks is still one of my favorite players of all time and I don’t even know if the dude played much after high school.
