- 2020 Montverde. 2016 Chino Hills. Some of the best high school basketball teams of all time. What if I told you that a random school in Utah with a roster full of Mormons belongs in that conversation? Do you know the story of Lone Peak?
Thanks for watching! Subscribe if you liked it, I’ve got a lot more coming!
There really is a full length basketball court in all Mormon churches😂
Not all. But most. Many just have a half court single basket court.
Depends on if it's a ward or a branch.
Had a full court, but it was short and really nice for some 3v3 or 4v4. Fives was crowded lol
@@thenewfireJesus died for us ❤
All stake centers have a full court
I believe Nick Emery still has BYU's freshman scoring record. He had off the court issues that messed up his career.
I'd rather fight the Bloods than some Mormons. They are crazy!!!
BYU allowed boosters to shovel him money under the table and then got caught. I worked at a country club he would often golf at for free. This was back in the day before NIL
Like many athletes, these three players peaked as teenagers. They were great high school players but didn’t have the same impact at the next level.
BTW it wasn’t a Mormon basketball team. It was a public high school team and not every player on the team was LDS.
Preeeeeetty much every player was mormon, bro. Have you been to Alpine, UT?..
Yes, I live about 5 miles from Lone Peak HS. Does the producer of this video know the religious preference of every player on that team? Probably not.
@@kevins4254 my man really wanted to get his point across
It’s called click bait man
They were great college players too but yeah peaked then.
That BYU team beat #1 Gonzaga on the road. Would’ve loved to have Mika back one more year.
TJ Haws was just crazy good in that game. Very frustrating watching him just score at will!
I feel like you kinda sold Eric Mikas career short. The Guy has had a very impressive Pro Basketball Career in the Gleague
That’s my graduating class and I didn’t go to a single game. What a shame
LOL... But it's not as big a deal as you think probably.
@@JjJj-nw8ok true
I firmly believe Mika could have had more NBA success if he had stayed one more year at BYU. He probably wouldn't have been drafted (too old by that point), but his skills would have been more polished. Haws was never going to do a ton in the NBA--not enough size or athleticism--and Emery had massive personal issues.
emery got kicked out of byu for signing stuff and for fighting he actually hates byu now
@@smyleez He did not get kicked out of BYU, though he did retire from the team before his senior season. He also does not hate BYU, though he does hate BYU's current HC, Mark Pope, for...some reason.
@@jonathonfloyd5757 nope he hates byu i would know because im friends with people who know him also he was forced to retire due to a incident
@@smyleez If he hates BYU, he does a dang good job of fooling me on social media. He was just tweeting about how excited he was when BYU beat Kansas.
@@jonathonfloyd5757 he hates byu not the team but the university and mormonism
its important to note that lone peak is like the premier sports highschool in the entire Salt lake area, and saying alpine only has 10,000 people is disengenuous because utah county has hundreds of thousands of people
I just know in the old WAC, that UTEP BYU rivalry was intense
How does this channel only have 75 subs!? 🤯
*76 now!
@@sevironside4073 thank you!!! Got a lot more coming!
As a LDS member born and raised. Yeah every chapel of ours pretty much has a full court regulation court
I was a junior in high school that year, went to Davis High (#2 seed in the state, behind these juggernauts). I played in the pep-band and had a buddy go through how he totally thought we could beat them. Game started. Next thing we knew, they were up 30. Then half time rolled around. They were a crazy team to watch
They grew up going to a church with a basketball court inside them. We know how to ball lol
As a Mormon my self it kinda disappointed me that you said that just because we’re lds doesn’t mean we’re not good at anything
Since Heavenly Father blessed us with the freedoms of the United States you have the liberty to choose what you believe to be the right thing for you but I bear testimony to you that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true restored church of God I know that Jesus Christ is our savior and loves each of us no matter what we do and his arm of mercy is continually extended towards us I know that the Book of Mormon is a sacred text and testament of the Lamb of God I know that the Bible and Book of Mormon compliment each other and complete each other Christ is our savior and advocate with the father I love you and may our father that loves you bless you in the sacred name of the son of the most high god, Jesus Christ, Amen.
I bear testimony that Joseph smith / Brigham young was a 33 degree Freemason and means he’s with the devil, amen
I met Tyler Haws in the MTC. He was a really nice kid.
Man, I respect the dedication to their faith and all, but imagine had they all gone straight to playing college ball when they had graduated and they grew and developed together. I think God would understand and opportunity like that. Lol
Sean Bradley, Eric Mika, Mark Madsen are just Mormon NBA players. They are disciplined which helps them with their basketball.
Love how abruptly it ended after talking about their NBA flop 😂
lone peak was amazing for that szn.
We all remember TJ Haws, just not for basketball skill. It’s a great meme thiugh
All the byu fans were drooling over these 3 and making how many sweet 16s and final fours this “best team in the nation” 3 best players would make. Answer was zero
the pic looked like they were holding hands.
AYYYYE THATS MY HIGH SCHOOLLLLLL
yo everyone in Utah literally hates lone peak
@@rickeyjewkes yah bro I’m very aware, every time I say I’m from lone peak they make a face lol
i go to lonenpeak
Same
Just for awareness, it is not Mormonism, but the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints. We don't worship the prophet Mormon, who is one of the writers of the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ. If ya'll can refer to us as LDS or Latter-day-Saints, that would be great This was a sick video too I love TJ Haws!
it was quite a team ...
Emery and Haws come from basketball families. Inch for inch, pound for pound, Marty Haws (BYU 89-90) may still be the best basketball player I've ever seen.
So Mormon missionary messed up their career. If they focused on basketball after high school, they could be more successful.
Mormons know how to ball bro we don’t mess around, fuck lone peak tho
They were a dynasty fr
Yes yes they do
"So are they in the NBA today? The answer to that is a little more complicated"...i guess the word "no" is complicated LMAO
Jesus loves you and saves (John 3:16)! He is the only Way to heaven, friends. And His salvation is enough!
Within the church that some people refer to as the mormon church. We are asked to call it by its formal and correct name; The church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. As I understand it, Conversion is to adopt the lord's standards or that's how it is attained! And the church of Jesus Christ of latter Day saint missionaries are the ones that do have those standards entrusted to share with the world, Which would lead to conversion to God and good and endless possibilities. And yes to the formal kingdom of God, restored to the earth.
Why not use the full name of our church? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?
@csolt2322but it sounds better
Because it wasn't an evil thing to do until 15 minutes ago
@@robwilliams2265 I don't think you read that question. Lol
Why does it matter? Not everyone knows the full name of the church
@@KanyeTheGayFish69we think it’s important to use the full name of the church because it’s important to include Jesus’ name. It’s His church, not Mormons church. Hopefully that makes sense. I’m not very good at explaining lol😅
Mormon church ball is no joke
lol fr
The first mistake was... BYU
LPOD
Simone is lying
I hate lone peak
I’m a Westlake player
You probably go to American fork high school
@@user-lq9pc2er9i I go to Westlake
From utah. By utah standards they were good. But utah doesnt have high end talent like tons of basketball states. So their competition was likely future d1 role players at best. Utah is well rounded in terms of basketball but you hardly ever see top end talent professionally come out of utah. I think that high school team was one of the most overhyped teams ever.
Did you miss the part of them playing teams around the country and whooping them? That’s why they were ranked number 1 in the nation.
They were ranked that high for a reason
lol lone peak won the national championship in 2013. they weren’t overhyped. they were legitimately the best.
Lone peak blows.
It was terrible in the city.
In 1978 the Mormon church was told if they don’t stop treating blacks with equality in their “church,” they would lose their religious tax exception. What happened? They changed their BELIEFS AND RELIGION to maintain the exemption. Funny how a RELIGION that everyone believed in was wrong… magically. Why a black kid would want to play there is beyond me.
Lies
Did you know the founder of the Church was an abolitionist and ran a political campaign to end slavery?
Or do you only cherry pick anti religious sound bytes that fit the narrative?
Wait you mean back when the whole world was racist so were people in Utah? 😱 By your logic black kids should only play at HBCU since EVERY UNIVERSITY out there was racist at one point. The entire world was. When are we going to focus on progress instead of hashing old wounds?
@@AlexJthegoatTonga is not black
@@AlexJthegoat Polynesians aren't black. Any black who were to join the LDS church is a fool, they'll never transcend as God's due to being "cursed" in the Book of Mormon.
Not only that but if they are Mormon they believe themselves of become gods of their own planets.
Relevant how????
What’s your Devine potential? Are we not his children? Going to just sit around and sing Kumbaya
For all eternity?
@@Mike-ly7ev It is not to be a god but to love the living god and serve HIM. I will pray for your deliverance brother.
@@andrewsafarik5060nope, I'll take my God powers and planet in the future. You can flutter around with a harp and wings for eternity! 😅
@@AlexJthegoatMay you miss understood my point Mormons say the Bible is full of errors and your books not plagued with errors even though the Dead Sea Scrolls (over 2,000 years old) contain the Book of Isaiah and affirm our translations accuracy. And you can not show me a copy of the first printing of the book of Mormon even though it is less than 200 years old.
You misspelled "moron."
Cool comment, dork
wtf
nice comment, dork
Yeah they should have spelled it…. Levi. Stock.
What is your response to the reality of Paul Gregersen debunking the arrogant Egyptologist opinions against Joseph Smith?
What does religion have to do with basketball
The stereotype
