Mary's High School [Phoenix, Arizona]. More NBA Transactions ». College: Grand Canyon Menu NBA. Evan Mobley seems to be what Cleveland has been looking for, a player who with his abundant and adaptable skills, casts the play of everyone around him in a rosier light. He quietly improved nonetheless and turned into one of the most overlooked playmakers in the NBA.

Scottie Pippen didn't get exactly what he wanted a long time ago, and has let those minor slights govern the entire back half of his life. He wears his disappointments about as heavily as any retired athlete in recent memory. The Blazers and Celtics brought in new coaches to address questions that we may see to be more existential and personnel-based than strategic or cultural. Sometimes you're just putting a new face on the same disappointment, and sometimes that disappointment ossifies, and then morphs into something worse.

Demetrius Walker averaged He set his season-high with 26 points in 38 minutes against Vanguard Lions on December 03, News broke last night that Demetrius Walker had been suspended indefinitely from the New Mexico basketball team for what is being termed a violation of team rules.

Walker is a fourth-year junior having redshirted during the season after transferring in from Arizona State. All she does is love me. She is the best thing that ever happened to me. Her tolerance of his mood swings, his outbursts, his incessant talk of basketball, was remarkable. Without Violet, Demetrius said, "Coach Joe would probably forget where he lived. Keller's intensity, his drive, came mostly from a belief that everyone questioned his ability to succeed.

But Violet was not one of those people; she always had faith in him. That Joe regretted his decision to miss the C-section was undeniable. On Monday afternoon he called Stengel and said, "Please help me. I've got to get home. I don't care how much it costs, and I don't care if I have to fly with the luggage. Keller would have to rent a car, drive to Washington Dulles and catch a 6 a. Factoring in potential flight delays and rush-hour traffic on the mile drive from LAX to Riverside Community Hospital, Keller's chances of making the scheduled 7 p.

C-section were at best. Stengel sensed that the cost of the ticket was a problem. Call it a baby present. That is how important I think it is for you to be there. It was around 9 p. Keller stared at Demetrius, who was still three months shy of his 13th birthday.

I will be back before the quarterfinals. They're not our coach. If you go, we don't have a chance. Keller stood up and moved closer to Demetrius. The coach said softly, "We play the Capital Players tomorrow. They're terrible. On this point Keller was contradicting himself. For years he had professed how superior he was to other coaches, how vital a role he played in the team's success. Demetrius believed him. Now he was supposed to understand that it was all a lie?

Keller retrieved his cellphone from the pocket of his shorts and flipped it open to check the time. If he wanted to catch the flight, he needed to leave soon. He said, "D? Keller put his cellphone back in his pocket and walked toward the door. Down the hall Stengel waited in his room, ready with his credit card. Keller entered and said, "I'm not going. D needs me. Less than 24 hours later, at p. She didn't get to see the baby initially, because a nurse rushed Alissa to the neonatal intensive-care unit and placed her in an incubator.

She weighed eight pounds, 14 ounces, but looked heavier. She was retaining fluid and would have to be monitored for a few days. It was not serious, but it scared Violet. For three days after the delivery, Violet's only glimpses of Alissa came from Polaroids that her sister brought her.

On the night his daughter was born, Keller was across the country, celebrating a point blowout of the Capital Players. Keller did arrange for flowers to be delivered to Violet's hospital room. Darren Matsubara entered the gym at Asbury Park N.

Middle School in January wearing a black velour sweat suit and spotless white Adidas running shoes and carrying a black-leather man purse. He looked out of place among the working-class parents finding their seats in the wooden stands. His black hair was slicked back like Pat Riley's, and he wore an oversized gold watch. Mats, as he was widely known, was one of Adidas's most powerful coaches. Mats was one of the few prominent AAU coaches who excelled at the role of hustler; even when he lied, he came across as trustworthy.

Once, after giving a long-winded and implausible response to a question about AAU coaches and agents, he said, "Come on, you thought I was going to tell you the truth? He had played college basketball at Cal State--Northridge and, at age 38, still regularly scrimmaged against his players.

His teams were among the best-coached, and he was known for turning away kids he considered undisciplined. When recruiting a player, Mats often sprang a test on him: He pretended to get lost while driving. Mats's reason for traveling to New Jersey was twofold. Stephenson was the best eighth-grader in the city, and he had recently been elevated to the spot just below Demetrius in The Hoop Scoop's rankings.

In basketball, as in rap music, there was a running debate about which coast turned out the best talent. East Coast coaches swore their players were tougher and more prepared for college or the NBA because they played against older competition on playgrounds and in AAU events.

West Coasters complained that their kids were slighted only because they didn't grow up playing in Rucker Park in Harlem or the West 4th Street Courts in Greenwich Village. The drumbeat for Demetrius and Stephenson to duel—and prove which coast had the next superstar—had sounded loudly for more than a year. Keller had invited Team Next to a tournament in California the previous season, and Stephenson's coach had confirmed its participation with Keller the week of the event.

But Team Next never arrived in Los Angeles. Mats also traveled to New Jersey because of a concern that had been discussed at length during a recent meeting at Adidas's offices in Portland, Ore.

That is the question everyone was asking," Mats said. They go from dominating in middle school to struggling against older kids, stronger kids, kids just as talented as them. I told them I'm going to look after Joe, put a safety net under him. The safety net included a radical suggestion that Mats presented to Keller just before the team left for New Jersey: Disband Team Cal after the summer and let Demetrius and a few of Keller's other top talents play for EBO.

That would put some of Adidas's best young prospects with a coach more qualified to develop them as players and more experienced at keeping away poachers from other shoe companies.

It would also free Keller to focus on his Jr. Phenom Camp, an all-star camp for the country's best sixth- to eighth-graders, which Adidas's coaches across the country now saw as a potential feeder system for their teams. Mats wasn't willing to go down and court grade school and middle school prospects, but he saw how it could help Adidas's teams if Keller continued to do so.

There is the grassroots, but below grassroots is the Seed. That's where you are. You are going to be a man of the Seed. You be where it starts. Keller would need to give up coaching, but as the ruler of the Jr. Phenom Camp he would wield substantial power in the industry. He would be the guru parents consulted and AAU and college coaches came to for information on the youngest kids.
