Greatest AAU team ever?
Posted on 4/30/13 at 10:49 pm

I just came across something I had read a while back. Back in 2004-05, this was the starting line-up of an AAU team based mostly in Indianapolis but also featuring guys from Dayton and some other cities: Mike Conley Jr, Daequan Cook, Eric Gordon, Josh McRoberts, and Greg Oden.
Is there any team that could compare to that roster?

LeBrons AAU team would probably beat them!

my high school coach said he coached an AAU team that played in a tourney at Cameron Indoor and the team had Elton Brand, Ron Artest, Lamar Odom, and Erick Barkley.
They got DESTROYED in front of Coach K

Well, that is just because they had LeBron though The rest of the team wasn't anything special.
I think there were some really good AAU teams from DC that may have featured Ty Lawson, Nolan Smith, Mike Beasley, and Kevin Durant, but I don't think they were ever all on the same time at once.

Atlanta Celtics had Dwight Howard, Josh Smith, Randolph Morris(that meant something then), Darius Washington(same as Morris), and a young Javaris Crittenton.

Wow, that generally adds up in terms of age and location of the guys. I bet that group could have challenged the Duke team from 2 years prior

Wow. How the hell did Washington practice with all those Atlanta kids when he was like 7 hours away?

Their website shows him as an alum. Maybe he only played with them during the summer.

That's good. That would get some +1's on Deadspin

Just looked up their website. Holy shite there were a ton of ex LSU players. Delwan Graham, Dennis Harris, Xavier Whipple

What about the SoCal All-stars, with Jennings, Love, Budinger, Renardo Sidney among others.

Early 2000s the Atlanta celtics were unbelievable
Posted on 4/30/13 at 11:38 pm to Keys Open Doors
i dunno but living in atlanta, you would actually hear about them which is pretty absurd that regular people not involved with aau basketball knew how fricking good they were and shite.
just searched best aau team ever on google and the 3 talked about in this thread are mentioned everywhere. pretty awesome.
also on the google search is the coolest team picture of a team that is actually nasty. see if yall can name some of the guys.

Screw AAU teams...I would take Baltimore Dunbars early 80s HS team over all of those!
Muggsy Bogues, David Wingate, Reggie Lewis and Reggie Williams were all on the same HS team!
No AAU or recruiting just straight up ballers!

Posted on 4/30/13 at 11:54 pm to Keys Open Doors
Yea and martell webster
Posted on 4/30/13 at 11:55 pm to Keys Open Doors
yeah that team has brockman, hawes, micah downs and martell webster on it. they look like goofy white guys and they were probably sick.
also, brandon rush was on that awesome atlanta celtics team for a while.

The Houston defenders from last year with the Harrisons, shaq cleare (Maryland) Christian sanders (Stanford) and derrick griffin (miami) among others could make a case. They won the aau "national championship" if that means anything
