@@marvincotton1919 All you did was admit that no one in this thread except me knows the difference between a personal favorite and a GOAT, Marvin. The possibility of you being a good 1-on-1 player doesn't change that. Good talk, though. **Mute**
I graduated in 07..in like 05 i remember seeing oj mayo on slam magazine..that was prolly the reason i played aau ball a few years ... oj mayo was literally jordan..😢 i played against a few 5 stars n my day..but d rose and oj mayo never was at any camps i went to.. i was a 6'1 nobody..but summer 06 aau was legendary... donte green, larry sanders.. 14 year old brandon knight, jj hickson, kenny boyton.... 😢😢.. good times
I’m a fellow class of 07 hooper and i remember seeing OJ in Houston playing for Miami Tropics summer of 05 the man the myth the legend. Never got to play him but played against Durrell summers and those boys when they played with the family . Got smacked by 30 lol crazy class
OJ Mayo changed the way I approached the game, too. I thought I was D1 material until I watched him at the ABCD camp in 2007/2008-one of the coldest hoopers I’ve ever seen with my own eyes.
Im from Cincinnati, class of '04. That OJ Mayo era was insane. Shout out to Bill Walker who was also on that team at North College Hill HS. Them boys could not be stopped.
The crazy part is players always say half the battle is being in the right situation. They kept making OJ Mayo play the 2 when the man was a Gilbert Arenas type 1. His scoring package was so elite that NBA coaches just wanted him to concentrate on scoring in half court sets. So instead of going downhill with the ball and making reads while also having the ball in his hands everytime- he is coming off screens or being in iso situations against 6’6 & 6’7 NBA elite dudes. And he STILL balled out rookie season. But the man was 6’3-6’4. But u put him at the point and suddenly he is a big point guard causing havoc & creating opportunity for others. And then the off the court stuff just derailed his career. Its crazy to think how K Love wouldve been on that grizzlies team & Mayo couldve been at Minnesota at the point if not traded for each other. The Grizzlies & later the Bucks tried to make him into an instant offense Crawford Lou Will type of player and OJ’s game was always a cerebral slow burn type of game. Dude was a technician. Yes he was older in high school (lol) but he hit the ground running as a 21 yr old rookie. He didnt look out of place or shell shocked. No team would let him play his natural position. It was crazy. Even Tim Grover was telling teams predraft that OJ was a 1. OJ wanted to play the 1!
In 4th grade i was on a 9-10 year old basketball team. I led the league in scoring with 21 points per game. I was 5-9 at the time. Going into 5th grade, i thought i was the man but in our first game we played against a team with a new kid named Ovinton (OJ). That MF scored 40 in the first half. Left and never played another game in that league. I assume because we sucked. Good news is i averaged 25 that season.
i grew up in va but had fam out kentucky, one of my first real young hoop memories was hearing about OJ and how he was giving grown men work as a middle schooler 😂😂
Y’all missed a lot of gems in this interview. Y’all glossed over his high school career, glossed over his #25 jersey and Ben Wilson, glossed over Pat Bev averaging 40 during Rose’s high school era. Glossed over ESPN documenting Chicago high school basketball in the 2000’s…. I mean damn, lol. Stay focused
There might be a documentary of the 2006-2007 Huntington Highlanders when O.J came back home for his senior year. The best basketball team in West Virginia History.
Watched OJ several times in high school. Honestly his teammate Bill Walker was on pretty much the same level. He was a carbon copy of Vince Carter. Same head band... same number... same little knee brace.... same bounce. They were an absolute blast to watch. Saw OJ go for 40 and a lob off the backboard to Walker from almost half court for a windmill dunk. Hahahaha. State tournament Walker threw down an in game windmill from like 2 steps inside the free throw line
Oj mayo and bill walker, before them was ty lawson. Thaddeaus Young was a man child but wasnt talked about much😅. Then dudes like Rose Teague then jennings and john wall. Popped up. Tyreke johnny flynn
OJ and Bill had AAU on LOCK!!!!! You heard D Rose said they chased them dudes. That 06 year at Nationals was crazy. They had the entire Wide World of Sports following their games. I was there! Jordan sons was there too and his oldest is the same age. Just like Teague said when he first saw D Rose and they threw the alley to him first play. I saw Jeffrey Jordan catch a nasty alley on the first play of the game. That dude can fly like MJ and he was barely 6ft tall.
Oj was born in 1987. Two years older than the 2007 class which should be 1989 birth year. He was overrated in the sense that he was physically more mature than everyone. Two years for teenage boys is significant from a physical and emotional maturity standpoint.
Outside of LeBron James , OJ Mayo is the Greatest High School Player I Have Ever Seen Touch a Basketball , i remember he threw it off the glass and shut the game down .
Oooooo we played mass times in Cincinnati Ohio at college hill Rec and Grosbeck Park he was a killer only seen him lose 3 times 2 times to GetRyte (Spurlock lil O J Ride Big Twin and Dee ) And 1 time at Grosbeck Park (Frank Bell team) Oj was money 💰 in the bank

When OJ was a freshman in college he was 20 years old
That is wild. He was so tuff!
Drose is the special talent that usually dnt make it out the hood you jus hear about it but he's one of them ones
Bro FACTS!!!
I never seen rose talk this much..he seems happy it's great to see
He does all the time on interviews
OJ and Mike Beasley are both GOATS ! I don't care about NBA accolades. Both of em are 2 of the best to ever lace em up 🏀💯
Mike Beasley, D. Rose, Shannon Brown.......besides Vince, personally never seen dudes jump like them.
It's ok to admit you don't know the difference between your favorites and the GOATs.
yea if u know
u know
@@redrockballa I know they were terrific amateur ball players who, for varying reasons, ultimately fell well short of pro level expectations.

no lie told, i used to bank shot 3s with him lmao
And Rudy Gay !! No bullshit.
No lies but that Dallas maverick team was fun on 2k as well him dirk and Vince Carter
Facts!
OJ Mayo used to look like they just let an NBA player play HS varsity 😂
I remember being in middle school and my older brother talking about how OJ was going to nice and was going to change the game in the NBA.

OJ was cold. I remember him at College Hill in Cincinnati...
My older brother played with him that championship year
I'm from Dayton and lived in Cincinnati when he was playing and saw him play multiple times. He was a serious problem!
OH was on ☄️

I know once jt say “I’ll never forget” I know it’s about to be a good story 😂
Respect when we show each other love
Aint nothing like Chicago hoopers. Argue with someone else...and support D Rose's chess tournaments. My Pops would love that.
Man ill never forget playing both of yall. We got the dub but this man Jeff jumped over Q.

“I’ll never forget when..” is when you know Teague is about to come with a what the f***, you were there? type of story 😂
Lil Mo a real Memphis legend!
OJ Mayo & Brandon Jennings my childhood goats
My homie has said repeatedly OJ was the coldest HS player he's ever seen. He had a true NBA guard game as a Junior.
Saw the mean streets play OJ’s team when they were 8th graders! Entire team and fan base came into the gym in all black at the exact same time
Watched OJ several times in high school. Honestly his teammate Bill Walker was on pretty much the same level. He was a carbon copy of Vince Carter.

Yeah Bill was killing the super stars they didn't like that he should never been traded he was a Beast for sure!!
If Bill didn't have bad knees he would have been a lot more well known. He was arguably better than OJ.
Thaddeus Young played for the memphis magic back then and he was the one went to Georgia tech. He was a baller back then. Bad Thad.
They got some good as memory 👀🤣
Whole episode was 🔥
07-08 college was the best year in college to me.
Yessir and Bill walker underrated for sure
OJ was two tears older than others in his class. That makes a difference.

Crazy Legs
OJ was cold till he messed with the greatest player in the world 😂😂

brah D Rose is a good dude man!

He was dominating high school teams in 7th grade
It’s easy to diminish him for that but he was also dominating high school players when he was younger
He was 14 years old in 7th grade
D Rose was "chasing OJ" like a bucking Bronco
Tyreke Evans..💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾..iykyk
O.J was supposed to be what Kyrie is
I felt Bill Walker was better when they was at College Hill.
@@pastorjv46 definitely up for debate Bill was athletic as fuck
Damn OJ was that dude at a time too bad he got banned from the league
lol real hoop fans been on him I know yall remember that last dunk of his hs career threw it off the glass slammed it n threw da ball in the bleachers
