AAU? They don't be even going hard in AAU, shyt's like an All-Star game most of the time with those kids just fukking around and playing no defense.
You're not understanding what I'm saying, But first, you're wrong because some of them do play hard, because that's the only way they're getting notice, because a lot of scouts aren't going to high school games, so they're going to AAU games, Nike Camp, ABCD Camp, Adidas etc.
More importantly, whether they're playing hard or not, they're playing a lot more games than they were 20 years ago, that shyt has to wear on your body plus leave you more vulnerable for injury.
