dayostical Zion def had more hype going into the draft, but this is from highschool, and Zion wasn’t even considered the number one pick coming out of hs
Bill Walker (his HS teammate) was hyped too at the time. Hitting windmills in traffic, incredible hops but never replicated the same skill in the league.
True, also Greg Oden he was being compared to the all time great bigs probably would have been if not for injuries most years KD would’ve been number one overall pick but Greg Oden was seen as a once in a generation type of big man.
J'me rappelle de la hype de Zion tout le monde en parlait c'était un truc de fou, après je peux pas trop comparé avec LeBron j'étais même pas encore né 😂
Crazy hearing "Wiggins was the first prospect of my time" when I remember hearing about Lebron in his sophomore year at high school.... damn I'm getting old lol
It’s Lebron, no contest. ESPN isn’t out here broadcasting high school games for anyone else. I will say, I know it’s going back a bit, but Kwame Brown had crazy hype.
Austin Rivers should have at least gotten an honorable mention. #1 player in his class and was really the only player with great mixtapes from that year. Plus being an NBA coaches son and going to Duke, people thought he was gonna be the next top NBA pg when he was at Winter Park.
2015- Karl Anthony-Towns- So far living up to the hype. Needs a better team D'angelo Russell- Not doing so great but not bad at all Jahil Okafor- 😂😂😂 2016- Ben Simmons- Doing good but needs a freakin' jumpshot Brandon Ingram- Just now breaking into stardom Jaylen Brown- Solid player 2017- Markelle Fultz- 😂😂😂 Lonzo Ball- Finally broke away from his dad and he's no longer a daddy''s boy. Great future ahead Jayson Taytum- Bonafide stud. Shouldve been #1 pick 2018- Deadre Ayton-😂😂😂 Marvin Bagley- Gotta stay healthy Luka Doncic- Superstar in the making 2019- Zion Williamson- Superstar in the making Ja Morant- Superstar in the making RJ Barrett- Superstar in the making
If you went as far back as LeBron then you completely missed Greg Oden who everyone thought was going to be the next great big like Shaq, hence why he got drafted over KD. OJ Mayo also had insane hype too.
Oden got a lot of his hype from his time at OSU. You truly don't understand how absurd the hype was for LeBron back then. The hype was literally so high that LeBron actually had to reach the levels he's reached to meet the hype. If he wasn't a top 5 all time player, he wouldn't have met the hype. That is how great the hype was.
0:48 Bro, that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard, no one knows who Emoni Bates aside from the HS basketball scene; everyone in the country knew who the fuck Lew Alcindor was when he was in college. Just look up 'The Game of the Century', and tell me that isn't bigger than what Bates does in podunk HS and AAU arenas.
john wall was the most hyped player i know, the man had his on dance called the "THE JOHN WALL'' , and his own song called DO THE JOHN WALL by troop 4. before he ever played a game for kentucky
How does one measure hype? What about players before the internet? Like the ones people were talking about on TV? People didn't know about some of these players before their senior year
lamelo and lonzo should be higher than everyone but bron, hype is more than just ranking, it’s the videos/expectations and the talk. For two years these boys were the only thing on espn and other sports broadcasts. Both are top 12 in social media in the nba yet both aren’t even top 40 in the nba 😹They’ve had insane hype especially with chino hills being the best high school team… ever.
I don't know, it seems a bit off to only count players who were big on social media and thus disqualify everyone from more than 10 years ago (except Lebron). Hype might look different and be less widespread, but this is like making a list of best shot blockers in history and skipping Wilt because they didn't track blocks in his era.
I mean, there were simply less people knowing about most of the players back in the day. This is obviously a list about the majority, not about just scouts or experts.
LeBron might be more hype than Zion in US, but in global as a whole nobody knows LeBron in highschool outside of US. Zion was known throughout the world as a highschool superstar. Even some 10 year old kid in my country knew who Zion was that's how popular he is. You keep on saying social media plays the big role that's why you didn't put Kareem and other old dudes but when it comes to Zion you said it's just all because of social media. TBH most of you NBA channels are just NBA fanboy and are very bias.
I agree with the point that most of the players on the list should be more recent but I think players like Sebastian telfair , Stefon Marbury Tmac, KG should be on here before Barrett , lamelo , and a few others
Greg Oden should be on here and probably at number 2. Everyone was saying he was the next great big man of his generation and had unbelievable hype coming out since that was the first year you couldn’t go straight to the pros. Kevin Durant was in that same class and he was so hyped that Lemarcus Aldridge, PJ tucker (who was big 12 player of the year and a second round pick, and Daniel Gibson all left Texas because they knew their stock was going down with him coming in and Oden was more hyped then Durant.
As far as the players with the most hype coming out of highschool in the last 10-20 years I would say Lebron James Zion Williamson O.J. Mayo Kwame Brown Sebastian Telfair Greg Oden Kevin durant Austin Rivers Lonzo Ball Lamelo Ball
FALSE! Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (the Lew Alcinder) was more known & hyped than all the 2000s players except LeBron. Kareem was more known then all these folks without the internet. Remember, Kareem played HS hoops in HARLEM, NY! He was a center when centers ruled bball. He signed to UCLA when they were the top program in the 2nd biggest TV market.
How old is the kid making this video? Lol OJ Mayo was super hyped, next lebron and even had lebron coming to his games, especially when social media was first coming about
![[SFM] Risky Recital](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RzNkY1_Nk3o/mqdefault.jpg)
You know Lebron number one when the 5 people before him were supposed to be the best since Lebron James 😂
Dude was called King James as a high schooler from grown ass men
Zion is going to surpass LeBron I'm calling it now
ahwoofe nah Zion will fall tragic to injuries which is never good for any player
@@samfelmingham2443 he isn't even injured
AlphaDwg lebron james is a bust tbh
I would put Zion above Andrew Wiggins. Having witnessed both, I have to say that they hype for Wiggins was nowhere as big as it was for Zion.
dayostical Zion def had more hype going into the draft, but this is from highschool, and Zion wasn’t even considered the number one pick coming out of hs
@@frogboi6590 I was expected Barrett ahead of Zion tbh
O.J. Mayo should have been up there, he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, he was really hyped in high school
Bill Walker (his HS teammate) was hyped too at the time. Hitting windmills in traffic, incredible hops but never replicated the same skill in the league.
I was coming down to the comments to say this
Troy Few facts he was solid in the nba
And he is still balling in abl (asean basketball league) he played in the same team as jeremy Lin’s brother in fubon braves
True, also Greg Oden he was being compared to the all time great bigs probably would have been if not for injuries most years KD would’ve been number one overall pick but Greg Oden was seen as a once in a generation type of big man.

Mike Korzemba: 7 FOOT STEPH CURRY WITHA 40 INCH VERTICAL
I live in France and the hype got all the way over here. I remember looking up Lebron's high school highlights.
J'me rappelle de la hype de Zion tout le monde en parlait c'était un truc de fou, après je peux pas trop comparé avec LeBron j'étais même pas encore né 😂
Harry Giles was getting A LOT of hype in high school, injuries have hurt him in the nba unfortunately though he has been solid this season
His per 36 stats were great last year
Greg Oden honorable mention
Crazy hearing "Wiggins was the first prospect of my time" when I remember hearing about Lebron in his sophomore year at high school.... damn I'm getting old lol
Bro Emoni Bates is something special. He sold out Eastern Michigan's stadium 3 times this year. Our whole town was there basically.
chis webber was bigger
It’s Lebron, no contest. ESPN isn’t out here broadcasting high school games for anyone else. I will say, I know it’s going back a bit, but Kwame Brown had crazy hype.
7:04 wtf is that kendrick nunn
Yes
No that's Michael Jordan
Oj Mayo was very hyped where he at
Feels weird hearing Kobe being called 'the late'. RIP Kobe
Austin Rivers should have at least gotten an honorable mention. #1 player in his class and was really the only player with great mixtapes from that year. Plus being an NBA coaches son and going to Duke, people thought he was gonna be the next top NBA pg when he was at Winter Park.
Definitely enjoy watching your videos bro. Only person I thought you could've fit in the 8-10 Rance was Shabazz Muhammad but you were on it
😂😂😂😂😂😂 the shot at Mike I love it you him and Wilson are my favorite RUclipsrs Andy too can't forget him
You should look at the top 3 picks in the draft from the last 10 or 5 years and see how they are now
Agreed
2015-
Karl Anthony-Towns- So far living up to the hype. Needs a better team
D'angelo Russell- Not doing so great but not bad at all
Jahil Okafor- 😂😂😂
2016-
Ben Simmons- Doing good but needs a freakin' jumpshot
Brandon Ingram- Just now breaking into stardom
Jaylen Brown- Solid player
2017-
Markelle Fultz- 😂😂😂
Lonzo Ball- Finally broke away from his dad and he's no longer a daddy''s boy. Great future ahead
Jayson Taytum- Bonafide stud. Shouldve been #1 pick
2018-
Deadre Ayton-😂😂😂
Marvin Bagley- Gotta stay healthy
Luka Doncic- Superstar in the making
2019-
Zion Williamson- Superstar in the making
Ja Morant- Superstar in the making
RJ Barrett- Superstar in the making
@@Soldier979 Superstar in the making seems like over statement ngl
@@Soldier979 we will see about that laughter with markelle, the dude got hurt this year

I didn’t know jabari Parker and kendrick nunn were on the same hs team
Fun video. I think Kobe, Oj Mayo, Steve Alford, and Dwight Howard are some other mega hyped high school names.
Yep
We all know that LBJ is number 1
What about the king of nyc Felipe López ?
Amazing. Videos
Wiggins is having a career revival
9:19 pause
Noti gang love you jimmerrange

That Mike Korzemba “Steph with a 40inch vert”😂
I played a AAU tournament at the school Emoni Bates goes to
I saw emoni win the state championship at the Breslin center
Why u downplaying melo's hype?
Miquel Vallcorba ong he should’ve been top 5 atleast
Carmelo Anthony u mean?
@7:04 Kendrick Nunn I see u
Ps: Jeez man Montverde Academy had and still have some good prospects RJ
Cade Cunningham Ben Simmons and Scottie Barnes
Liked and subscribed my guy
LaMelo didn’t disappoint
Sebashtian Telfair & Felipe Lopez!!!! 2 of the top 10 hyped players EVER in any era
I knew I would find Sebastián here in the comments jimmerrange is a young basketball fan obviously you can tell by him not mentioning em
I was looking to see if anyone else remembered Lopez.
Liked and Subscribed!
Liked rep notification squad
Nah John walls was definitely at least top 5
We gonna ignore the fact that jabari played with Kenny nunn 7:04
Trust in God he is GREAT ❤️🙏🏾
I used to think Wiggins was gonna be the next big superstar
liked and noti gang
Surprised Sebastian Telfair didn’t make the list. The hype was nuts about him during HS.
liked and subscribed
Ever heard of O.J Mayo who had lebron go to his game I’m just saying he should’ve been on this list
Nope never heard of him.
john wall was the most hyped player i know, the man had his on dance called the "THE JOHN WALL'' , and his own song called DO THE JOHN WALL by troop 4. before he ever played a game for kentucky
Noti gang
You forgot d rose
What about Sebastian Telfair he was super hyped coming out
Thanks, i couldnt remember his name. I think he had a whole documentary on espn during that time
@@ninjascroll1017 yes I remember
5:21 BRUHHHH I'M DEADDDD
OJ Mayo I feel like shouldve gotten an honorable mention, along with Seventh Woods.
Crazy how only Lebron lived up to the hype
Did anyone notice Kendrick Nunn at 7:04
7:55 did Ben Simmons hit a 3
Austin Rivers should've been on this list
WARPSTEAM GAMMINGTV he had to much hype
Zion wasn’t hyped out of hyped school RJ was
This doesn't seem to have an order, I feel like more people knew lonzo than someone like rj Barrett.
I thank Greg Oden, sebastian tellfer and oj mayo should be on this list
One of the things that I hate seeing the most is when players who have all the physical gifts not live up to their potential. Example Wiggins.
Just won a championship with the warriors, who would’ve thought?😭
How does one measure hype?
What about players before the internet? Like the ones people were talking about on TV?
People didn't know about some of these players before their senior year

greg oden is one of the only people to win 2 gatorade national player of the year award
Saint Vs is where I go to school there is pretty much a shrine to lebron there 😅
LeBron might be more hype than Zion in US, but in global as a whole nobody knows LeBron in highschool outside of US. Zion was known throughout the world as a highschool superstar.

*I haven’t finished the video yet but Brandon Jennings better be on this list. Dude was a high school legend*
....and he’s not
It's no Oj, no Greg Oden Sabastian Telfair. This man been following hs basketball for 5 years
John wall also had a song made for him before the NBA
Do you run the tecc starr channel
I agree with the point that most of the players on the list should be more recent but I think players like Sebastian telfair , Stefon Marbury Tmac, KG should be on here before Barrett , lamelo , and a few others
Are... are you calling. Definitely not before Lamelo are you kidding. Maybe some of the others tho I’ll admit
Greg Oden should be on here and probably at number 2. Everyone was saying he was the next great big man of his generation and had unbelievable hype coming out since that was the first year you couldn’t go straight to the pros. Kevin Durant was in that same class and he was so hyped that Lemarcus Aldridge, PJ tucker (who was big 12 player of the year and a second round pick, and Daniel Gibson all left Texas because they knew their stock was going down with him coming in and Oden was more hyped then Durant.
As far as the players with the most hype coming out of highschool in the last 10-20 years
I would say Lebron James
Zion Williamson
O.J. Mayo
Kwame Brown
Sebastian Telfair
Greg Oden
Kevin durant
Austin Rivers
Lonzo Ball
Lamelo Ball
These guys had their city's on lock and had the media attention from all over the world when they came out to play
Kenny Anderson
Imagine if Andrew Wiggins became what he was supposed to be
7:03 don’t tell me that Kendrick Nunn😭😭😭
J.Parker, B.Wilson, A,Davis , M.Liberty, and O from Whitney Young high school all number #1 basketball in the nation.
Anyone else notice the typo at 7:41?
Crazy how 2-3 years ago, RJ was the rated number 1 player and Ja was nowhere to be found. Ja even overtook him in the draft
Lou Alsinder was the real name of Kareem.
Kareem changed his name to Kareem-Abdul Jabbar in 1970/71 season.
Lil Pece Fn facts?
Alcindor dwarfed all these guys in high school. It’s laughable. NY at time over ten daily papers covering Lew. Do some research.
Seventh woods has one of the most viewed mixtape 14 million where he at?
lebron or CAP 🤷🏽♂️
You forgot. KEVIN GARNETT and DARREL DAWKINS
No Wilt Chamberlain?! Like What the?!
You missed the real 🐐
No oj Mayo?
That picture with Michael porter jr next to trea young makes them look like the same person just different heights
crazy to see a pic of high school lebron in front of a lakers logo
FALSE! Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (the Lew Alcinder) was more known & hyped than all the 2000s players except LeBron. Kareem was more known then all these folks without the internet. Remember, Kareem played HS hoops in HARLEM, NY! He was a center when centers ruled bball. He signed to UCLA when they were the top program in the 2nd biggest TV market.
7:04, is that Kendrick Nunn?
Walawala yep he played with jabari
No Greg Oden or Anthony Davis, Robbery
Nobody was more talked about than Allen Iverson.. He was on the National news regular basis after the bowling alley incident
The next Steph curry with a 40 inch vertical
How old is the kid making this video? Lol OJ Mayo was super hyped, next lebron and even had lebron coming to his games, especially when social media was first coming about
is that kendrick nunn right beside Jabari???
Emoni bates
Damn Kendrick nunn and jabari played together???? That’s wild
john wall should definitely be top 5
What about oj Mayo
I didn’t know Kendrick Nunn played with jabari Parker 7:04
7:05 Kendrick nun lookin good
