The post TALEN HORTON TUCKER Shines at CHI-LEAGUE Pro Am Final! RAYJON TUCKER Dunks! CRAZY Pargo Game Winner! appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.
]]>The Chicago native turned up (for the second consecutive week) to play at the Dreamville Chi-League powered by Wilson at Chicago State on the city's South Side. THT starred on this same court for Simeon Career Academy's basketball team just 3+ years ago.
For the finals, THT teamed up with OKC rookie Jeremiah Robinson Earl (Villanova) and Chicago basketball vets including Jerome Randle (Cal), Jaylon Tate (Illinois) and more. They faced Sterling Brown's team (he didn't play) which featured Rayjon Tucker (fresh off Sixers summer league) and Jeremy Pargo among others.
Seen in the gym: Chicago Bulls rookie Ayo Dosunmu talking with legend Tim Hardaway. Also Chicago Bears Tarik Cohen and David Montgomery sat behind the bench. Former Kentucky PG Tyler Ulis was under the basket.
It was a close game throughout (1-5 point margin). It came down to the final shot(s). You won't want to miss this instant (pro am) classic from Chicago!
Thanks to everyone at the first Dreamville Chi League. Next year let's get J Cole and even more pros in the gym!

]]>"Dennis Smith was phenomenal," Loyola coach Porter Moser said. "He was like (Russell) Westbrook the way he was that quick and that athletic... I mean, he's all that and more than advertised."
Smith's back-court teammate, Torin Dorn, also added 20 points for the Wolfpack and shot 51% from the floor. Be sure to check out Torin dropping a defender and hitting a three in the second half of the video above. Also worth nothing that fellow guard, Terry Henderson, is featured in this video as well absolutely posterizing a defender in the first half.
If NC State can figure things out on the defensive end, and once they add big man Omer Yurtseven to the roster in the mid-season, they might be a force to be reckoned with come tournament time. State fans are always looking for a reason to get excited, and congratulations, because Dennis Smith Jr is the best player NC State has had since the days that Jim Valvano brought a championship back to Raleigh.

Havelock (Havelock, N.C.) point guard Kyran Bowman couldn’t make the Fayetteville, N.C., leg of J. Cole’s Forest Hills Drive tour last August when the hip hop star famously surprised his hometown with performances from Jay Z and Drake.
“I really wanted to go too,” Bowman, a senior, recalled. “I figure since I couldn’t make it to his show I’d just put on a show for him.”
With J. Cole looking on, Bowman scored 45 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and handed out six assists, but fell short in an 82-76 loss to Terry Sanford (Fayetteville, N.C.) Tuesday night in the NCHSAA 3A playoffs.
“It was a tough loss,” Bowman said. “I just tried to do everything possible for my team to get the win, but we came up a little short. It’s a tough one.”
Still, Bowman admitted that putting on a show for one his “favorite rappers” offered some consolation.
“When I heard he was watching I did get a little more excited,” Bowman said. “I wanted the win, no doubt, but it was cool that he came out to watch the game. He made this one to remember.”
J. Cole could say the same.
