Why you’ll want to keep an eye on South Garland prospect Tyrese Maxey, including time he scored 44 points with broken finger

GARLAND -- Tyrese Maxey lobbed the ball up, let it bounce high off the court, did a 360 spin in the air and in one motion caught the ball and ferociously slammed it with his right hand.

Moments before that, the South Garland basketball prodigy resembled the iconic Michael Jordan logo, his legs spread far apart and his right hand extended with the ball above his head as he glided through the air and prepared to dunk.

This is a 17-year-old high school junior who was casually showing off his insane dunking ability during a photo and video shoot Wednesday at practice.
