We continue our countdown of the Top 30 mixtape players in the Ballislife era (back to 2005) with No's 16-20, including one of the most popular and viral players of all-time and one of the best dunkers we've ever seen at the high school level. We'll continue our six-part countdown on June 24.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video is at the heart of what we do as a company. Even though we've branched out into many other business ventures, we still get excited as ever and look forward to putting out mixtapes. Though the definition of a mixtape has changed a bit over time because of the impact of social media, the 30 special talents who made the cut as the greatest mixtape players of all time have stood the test of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The criteria is the best combination of that one sick mixtape, longevity, combination of multiple good mixes, and large viewing numbers across all platforms. It's simply not just the 30 players with the most views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After checking out part No. 3 below, don't forget to sound off with your thoughts on our various social media platforms!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. Trae Jefferson<\/a>, Believe Prep Academy (Rock Hill, S. C.) 5-7 PG, 2015:<\/strong>
The small, quick and shifty guards always seem to make some of the most exciting mixtapes and Jefferson fits that bill. At 5-feet-7, Jefferson was a terror to deal with in the open court due to his ability to change speeds and direction on a dime and utilize his super crafty finishing package around the rim to score much bigger than his size would lead one to believe. Jefferson's lightning quick crossover and second level acceleration embarrassed countless defenders who tried to check him in isolation situations. One of Jefferson's most devastating moves was his split of a double team into a whirlwind of a spin move and finish in the painted area. The Milwaukee-native played two seasons of college basketball at Texas Southern and his most popular Ballislife mix, included below, drew more than four million views. If you're not familiar with Jefferson's game or need a refresher course, we've dropped a video below for you to check out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
