I was thinking the same thing. I think JJ ended up being MVP of this game because he shot lights out. I wish some of his highlights would have been included in this video.
@@whatthecel7555 OHHH WORD !!! That's wassup, he definitely got lost in the shuffle and forgotten about over time 😞😞😞. I remember when people had Lenny Cooke vs Lebron James as the premiere match up in high school basketball 🏀🏀🏀
Best player in my class & I have ever seen in the 8th grade. Saw his SoCal all stars team just murder some poor utah team. & deangelo was up front of the 1-2-2 FC trapping press @ 6”9 the other two were 6”6 & 6”8 & faster/more athletic than any guard even on the poor other team. We won norcal that year (the irony being deangelo lil to our knowledge actually grew up in norcal (Stockton ca) until the 8th grade that year or the previous one I think. If he was on the previous SCA team I can’t even imagine him & Tyson chandler together which I think he did play w him on SCA. Talk about unfair & redic for everyone else. Even after nationals playing Steve Novak, seeing dee brown Carmelo etc.. at that time definitely deangelo was the best player imo in the class. Now in this game.. amare showed he was #1. He couldn’t be guarded in the post by deangelo or anyone for that matter. Deangelo was too undersized & amare was just too strong. Deangelo could shoot 3’s tho n full court press. If he really refined his game I think he had KD before KD written all over him cuz he could face up at like 6”10 & strong enough.. & that’s in the 8th grade. He did get paid & played in several countries so I’m happy for him. Not everyone can be in the nba you guys. Talent wise I think no doubt deangelo could have but no one wanted to take a chance on him I don’t think which was & still is kinna sad to me but given the 01 initial hs to pro busts & then the Leon smiths korleon young’s.. I mean I get it & then I don’t.
Yeah east also played team ball a lot a lot better!!! They were more talented but west definitely had talent also just hucked up anything & everything & called it a great shot! 😂🤣
U wud think so rite as dominant nd big as he was but he ain't get moved to number 1 til a lil after da micky d's game cuz dey actually had Lenny Cooke ranked number 1 ahead of stoudimire nd even melo before dis game smh.
Finally Someone asks this. He was a top 10 play born in the end of 83. from Tabor Academy. A raw bruising big man in the mold of Leon Powe or Brandon Bass. He did not develop like Travon Bryant did not develop az Missouri. Thats Torin Francis
@philrich08 Torina Francis was my teamate and top 10 player nationally in 2002 from Tabor Academy, Mass. He was right behind Amare, Collins, and Jason Fraser. He was a six ten space eater with some athletic ability. Kinda like Kenneth Faried nowadays. Anyway, he went to Notre Dame where they did not develpo him and in the 2006 draft he wasnt a prospect anymore. He had a degree, and is doing fine nowadays in Germanys top team, Alba Berlin.
Yo believe they had him @ time of this game #1 cuz back then & idk anymore?? The played the game at the #1 in nations closest big city. Ronald curry = VA this in NYC cuz Francis I believe was ranked #1 overall in 2002 class at the time
Like ive said before redick is the most under rated player in the nba but finally the clippers have him and rivers is utilizing him as much as i hate austin rivers when he was playing on duke his dad i like for this....but so glad rivers is gone for duke...never played team ball
Smh thas funny to u huh...why u ain't add da part dat he went to play overseas for 8plus years nd signed a 3yr 7.5million dollar contract in 2006 after making no less than 300k a year b4 dat while I'm guessing u never even seen or made at best over 30to35k for those 8yrs he played pro ball huh...its not his fault u cudnt make ya hs ball team nd turned into 1of those bitter ppl who hope no athlete accomplish there dream cuz u didn't even get a chance to dream since u cudnt even make ya highschool jv team lmaoooo jokes on u buddy
Troy J Wrong! I’ve played both high school AND college ball. I graduated in 07 with a bachelor’s degree in the IT field. I was an assistant coach on the high school level for 4 years and was offered a head coaching job but turned it because of my passion for IT. My main job I work for the federal government EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). have a beautiful wife, 2 kids and a nice house. What reason would I have to be bitter ? 🤔
@@e84fresh idk u tell me wut u have to be bitter bout since its clear as day u feel some type of way by finding it funny he ain't make it to da NBA...only jealous or bitter ppl laughs at someone dat didn't reach there dream nd den u find da need to list wuteva job u got or ya past glory days on a team his team Prolly demolished if u was even on a team which I doubt nd it's funny to me dat even if u work in IT or wuteva u do his career still went wayyyyy better than yours financial wise cuz he still became a millionaire wit overseas money/contracts so like I said da jokes on u nd he shud be lol'ing at u ✌✌✌
Troy J I told you my career just to show you that I’m not bitter. I don’t need to be a millionaire or an NBA player to have a good life. God has blessed me with a great family, friends and a nice career. I’ve worked really hard to get where I am in life and I’m proud of it. Another thing I’m proud of is seeing young black men succeed that I’ve helped out through the years. Once again I have no reason to be bitter but believe whatever you want to believe kid.
Wiki/google articles on deangelo bro. Not everyone is cut out for college bro! lol. That’s why u see guys going hs to g league overtime elite overseas etc out of hs. There’s more options now days that would have benefited him. He still had a great pro carrier overseas. Nba gm’s should have gave him a shot it wasn’t cuz of a lack of talent
Whoever made this video made it one sided…Deangelo Collins was arguably mvp he played better than Amare no question…I’ll never forget that game ….Inglewood up
Nah bro. & I’m the biggest deangelo fan & played at a tourney at Compton jc after his SCA team. He was best player I saw & saw & played a handful of nba guys that 8th grade summer but he couldn’t guard amare on defense in post in this game cuz he was just too big & strong.. & brad buckman only other big on the west wasn’t skilled enough.. amare was the goat in this game & Felton & jj we’re running the breaks & dropping assists to melo & the bigs. The west got ran! lol. Deangelo showed his offensive skill/scoring set tho! 4 sho showed out & got his tho.
A guy I played against in a pickup played with Chris Bosh on a high school USA team. Very cocky guy. At the time he told me how much of a bum Chris Bosh was. Lol. This same guy entered the draft in 2008 and didn't get drafted. Couldn't even get on an NBA squad
My boy Melo always played with a smile on his face. Glad he’s back in the league
jj was the MVP of this game, dropped long 3s all night, now in 2019 he is still starting in the NBA unbelievable player
Who was here after JJ Redick's podcast with Chris Bosh
After his podcast with Melo :)
Link? This is my class what did they say?
I’m here after Gil’s Arena , McCants said that J.J. Redick only got the start because of his Father.
Alot of great basketball players and hall of fame basketball players in this All American game
I was thinking the same thing. I think JJ ended up being MVP of this game because he shot lights out. I wish some of his highlights would have been included in this video.
i played against eric williams and randolph...we all from nc.....williams was like 300lbs as a freshman nigga was big as shit
The “Sega Sports” logo. Another classic
Who remembers Deangelo Collins? Definitely should have went to school, but also a good reason the rules were changed
Its a shame he didn’t make it…he woulda been the best to come from that group imo
Yeah it's weird how people remember the success stories and always forget about the failures, shout-out to Lenny Cooke.
@@Wyndamn lenny cooke was even at this game sitting behind the east bench

Melo Amare and Raymond playing around 😂
The East had Melo, Amare and JJ Redick. Enough said....
And Raymond felton Sean may shavlick randolph Eric Williams rashad mccants ...meanwhile west only had Chris bosh lol
Yeah east also played team ball a lot a lot better!!! They were more talented but west definitely had talent also just hucked up anything & everything & called it a great shot! 😂🤣
Mccants, Felton
Shawn May, rashad macants, Raymond Felton, 2005 ncca champs UNC TAR HEELS
They were playing with “The Rock”. Classic
I know 100% for sure that at some point in his senior season Amare was ranked #1 by some recruiting services...
U wud think so rite as dominant nd big as he was but he ain't get moved to number 1 til a lil after da micky d's game cuz dey actually had Lenny Cooke ranked number 1 ahead of stoudimire nd even melo before dis game smh.
Felton to Anthony is still happening ten years later....
And now Ray Felton, Carmelo Anthony, and Amare Stoudemire are ALL on the Knicks.
Damn didnt know about 2002 produced so much talent jj redick number 1 in my book carmelo anthony chris bosh and stoudemire.....crazy
Yes we know you’re white
1:51 I swear I never heard of Deangelo Collins. I had to google his name, no wonder he went straight to the L and went undrafted
This game established Amare
what happened to Deangelo Collins?
largec he got in trouble for fighting, and NBA thought he was a knuckle head
D'angelo collins wow
Melo Stat and Felton teammates at the Garden if only they knew...
Finally Someone asks this. He was a top 10 play born in the end of 83. from Tabor Academy. A raw bruising big man in the mold of Leon Powe or Brandon Bass. He did not develop like Travon Bryant did not develop az Missouri.
Thats Torin Francis
@WLabelmeCool To add to the coincidences, the fact that year, the McDonalds all star game took place in New York City.....
@philrich08 Torina Francis was my teamate and top 10 player nationally in 2002 from Tabor Academy, Mass. He was right behind Amare, Collins, and Jason Fraser.

Lorenshyne Who would u say was the number 1 recruit in this class.
Yo believe they had him @ time of this game #1 cuz back then & idk anymore?? The played the game at the #1 in nations closest big city. Ronald curry = VA this in NYC cuz Francis I believe was ranked #1 overall in 2002 class at the time
Other than bosh (who dodnt start), and collins. I didnt recognize none of those west players!!
You dont remember Dee Brown? Played for Illinois?
Hassan adams Chris bosh dee brown
Now these 3 players are in the same Knicks team.
Dam I didn't know any of the starter on the west
Zay dee brown was a good college player
Chris bosh was the only west player who did anything in the NBA...
wow bosh wasn't starting lol smh
Nice
and lebrons was in Cleveland his 1st team..
Like ive said before redick is the most under rated player in the nba but finally the clippers have him and rivers is utilizing him as much as i hate austin rivers when he was playing on duke his dad i like for this....but so glad rivers is gone for duke...never played team ball
I love picking out the stars year by year and see which ones made and which ones chose crack. Anthony peaked in college.
Deangelo Collings didn’t even get drafted lol
melo was so cute and sweet!
I remember Deangelo Collins. Entered the draft. Didn't get drafted. Never heard from him again. Lol. Should've went to school
Smh thas funny to u huh...why u ain't add da part dat he went to play overseas for 8plus years nd signed a 3yr 7.5million dollar contract in 2006 after making no less than 300k a year b4 dat while I'm guessing u never even seen or made at best over 30to35k for those 8yrs he played pro ball huh...its not his fault u cudnt make ya hs ball team nd turned into 1of those bitter ppl who hope no athlete accomplish there dream cuz u didn't even get a chance to dream since u cudnt even make ya highschool jv team lmaoooo jokes on u buddy

Amare was # 1 not Melo
Bullshit video, Redick was the mvp & the video doesn't show him doing anything.
Whoever made this video made it one sided…Deangelo Collins was arguably mvp he played better than Amare no question…I’ll never forget that game ….Inglewood up
