The 2021 NBA Draft Lottery Takes Shape At the HoopHall Classic

NEWSFLASH: A loathsome fan’s trashy, ill-advised toss of literal trash in the direction of LeBron James Jr. was not actually the most important thing that happened at this year’s HoopHall Classic, which is arguably high school basketball’s premier annual showcase, and inarguably the only reason to pack your bags for Springfield, Mass. with flash snowstorms on the radar. Throngs of fans proved that statement to be true this year, with the long-running event selling out on three different days for the first time ever. Many of then were there for James, a freshman who comes off the bench for Sierra Canyon and his famous father dropping in on Monday did nothing to distill a generally unreasonable amount of hype—so much that this disclaimer felt useful.
