Almost 25 years ago, Brooklyn’s own Lenny Cooke was the undisputed No. 1 overall high school player in the nation. He was a very talented player that was destined for greatness. However, things took a different turn. For those that know about his story, it’s great to see him giving back to the youth now, especially as he is currently on the coaching staff at @_nazmbb, imparting his wisdom on the youth.

Yesterday, at the Iverson Classic Blackout Signature Series at @nps_weequahic in Newark, New Jersey, there was a special game named in his honor between the national powerhouse, @UtahPrepMBB, currently the No. 4 team in the @league.ready top 25 national rankings, against @WRA_Hoops.

Lenny ended up having the pleasure of meeting the undisputed No. 1 overall player in this year’s high school class, @ADybantsa, a generational talent out of Brockton, Massachusetts that is spending his senior season at @UtahPrepMBB & currently has NIL deals on the table with @redbull & @Nike. Next season, he’ll be playing collegiate 🏀 at @BYUMBB.
