Brandon Bass - AAU Basketball

Brandon Bass, a power forward for the Dallas Mavericks (NBA) team, gives details on AAU Basketball. ?In high school, I went to Canterbury High in Baton Rouge where I didn?t get started getting recruited till our junior season. I played AAU basketball that?s where I really got colleges to start recruiting me. I went out to Texas and California and played there in front of a bunch of college scouts. I found out about it late, I found out about it when I?ve seen a Sports Illustrated about LeBron, I think he was in high school too. And that at that time they were talking about him being on the Mc Donald?s All American Team.I was figuring out a way where I could be on that team, so what I did was I tried to find what I needed to do and they said I needed to play AAU and play against the best players in the country. So I found a team to play on with, the New Orleans Jazz, it?s a really popular AAU team and I played there, the rest is history. Any small town where you don?t get too much recognition, I would advise them to go find the biggest AAU team or travel team that travel around the country where there?s a lot of scouts looking for talent. Oh it reminds me it was fun you know, I went to Texas and played in the Kingworld Classic where I played against the best talent in the world. Where some of the same guys that I played against there are in the NBA right now with me like Travis Outlaw, LeBron James. I didn?t actually play with his team because he lost the game, I was suppose to play against him in the championship. But I mean most of the guys my age I played against them at the AAU, then I played them at the McDonald?s or at the Adidas All- American Game.?

Brandon Bass lived in New Roads for two years with his stepfather after his mother died in Erwinville. He attended Rosenwald Elementary from the 4th grade until the 6th grade. He moved from New Roads to Baton Rouge to live with his aunt after that.
