The 2 sides to AAU Basketball

Many big basketball names are coming out against AAU basketball. Came across an article today from FarmingtonIndependent.com (http://www.farmingtonindependent.com/sports/4315845-through-players-eyes-aau-basketball-confronting-its-reputation) and it leads with this quote.

Kobe Bryant believes it is bad for basketball, claiming it does not develop fundamentals and the right skills. Others say that AAU promotes the individual and is detrimental to team play and learning how to win as a team.

But as you continue to read the article, you’ll discover many (if not most) kids have a much different experience with AAU basketball. Check it out at http://www.farmingtonindependent.com/sports/4315845-through-players-eyes-aau-basketball-confronting-its-reputation
