Fans in the stands and a celebrity at courtside: Saturday's matchup between top prospects Emoni Bates and Mikey Williams was a tease of normalcy for basketball fans.
Award-winning rapper DaBaby was one of a couple hundred in attendance to watch the nation's top junior — Bates, a Michigan State basketball recruit — take on a top-five sophomore guard — Williams, who has an Instagram following almost more impressive than his offer list.
"That's confidential," Williams said postgame when asked about he and DaBaby's center-court discussion after the final buzzer.
