I don’t think they’d even win the 15th. It would be wildly entertaining though!

I agree. It’s very entertaining to think about as well. I can see where they don’t win the region but I don’t know how teams would get a stop unless they send 3-4 at the NBA player and let the others shoot wide open shots and hope they miss.

We used to have this debate with putting LeBron on Piarist back when I was in school and that was we thought, that we’d put 3-4 people on him and guard the other 4 with 1-2 players. East Ridge is a lot better than those Piarist teams were because Piarist was not capable of getting a stop whereas East Ridge is, so maybe I’m wrong, it would be interesting definitely haha.

This is a dumb post. Of course they would win state. Anyone who doesn't think so doesn't really understand basketball and just how good those players are.

Buddy, chill out, and quit commenting on basketball. You make more a fool of yourself with every post you make, it is obvious you are the one who doesn’t understand how good those players are. Any elite NBA player would have 50+ sure, but they aren’t God, to say he would take East Ridge to a state championship and beat teams like Great Crossing and St. X is just not true. Reed Sheppard, I know he isn’t LeBron, was the #3 pick, and never won a state championship, and his team was good.

You also lost your credibility when you said Watts was better than Onkst in every category earlier this year, including shooting. Pretty easy to look that stuff up.

REED SHEPPARD WAS 18 WHEN HE PLAYED!!! YOU PUT AN 25 YEAR OLD REED SHEPPARD OUT THERE AND SEE IF THEY DONT WIN STATE.

Anyone that wants credibility has to start the convo with “when they were 18” If you honestly believe that a NBA player in their prime isn’t running clocking any team in the 15th region on the worst team you are quite insane.

The best players in the world double team steph curry in his prime, tripled shaq, or if you really wanna deep dive look how the spurs guarded lebron in the 07 finals. A simple triple team just doesn’t make a difference when it’s 16 year olds.

I shouldn’t have included the Reed Sheppard tid bit, I know there’s a big difference between 25 and 18. It’s night and day. With that being said l don’t think Reed Sheppard at 25 could win the 15th with this East Ridge team much less state. I don’t think St. X would have any trouble scoring 100+ against them with whichever 1 player you put on the other team, they can’t guard 5 players. You can yell to the clouds that it’s insane to think, I have watched a lot of elite level basketball up close and that’s my opinion. Not saying you haven’t but I’m not basing my opinion off of nothing and definitely not a Brian Scalabrine 1 on 1 YouTube video.
