ATLANTA — The gym inside of Kipp Collegiate Academy was standing-room-only on a Sunday in late July.
More than likely, most basketball and/or Atlanta Hawks fans have seen the clips floating around online of Trae Young and John Collins popping up to play in the Atlanta Entertainment Basketball League (AEBL) by now. Collins began the game with a booming one-handed alley-oop that he caught from former Toronto Raptor Lorenzo Brown, before hitting a few mid-range jumpers in the first half. As Young and Collins’ team pulled away in the second half, Collins finished getting his 41 points on the night with, for lack of a better term, a lot of dunks.
