C.J. Leslie & The Most Ridiculous High School Highlights Of The Year (From One Game)
If you haven’t been following C.J. Leslie‘s diary for Dime and HighSchoolHoop.com, then you’ve been missing out on one of the best and most exciting players in the country. The Word of God Academy (Raleigh, N.C.) forward is a Top-10 prospect nationally, and still hasn’t even chosen where he’s going to school next year.
As you can see in the highlights above from our boys over at Hoopmixtape, the 6-8 forward did some damage on his Senior night. Leslie threw it off the board to himself, not once, but twice! He also caught a double-oop off the inbounds, hit a couple three’s, caught a 360 oop and ended the game with a dunk at the buzzer. Oh yeah, he didn’t even play the first quarter.
The best part of this video is when C.J. looks down at his hand after nailing a three, and shakes it as if to put out a fire. Amazing!
What do you think? Where should Leslie go to school? Have you seen a better in-game performance this season? How good do you think he can be?

that dunk at :28 was NASTY. you couldnt tell exactly how he threw it off the glass to himself but it looked like it coulda been behind the back (SICK if he did do that) or just underhand scooped it with his left hand. But that highlight reel was unreal and he looks like he’s WAAAAAAAY ahead of the competition out there. Ol Alimoe from And 1 lookin boy lol

so what says:
can he shoot a jump shot? so what hes doing that against guys a foot shorter. this is what happens with these kids in high school. they tower over everyone and dont develop as complete players and cant play the game. a bunch of dunks and alleys arent ridiculous at all. if you want some ridiculous high school hoops post some yates high school out of houston who has beat all the top teams.

marcus the great says:
i wasnt tryin to hate as hard, but i have to agree with post #2. he looks like he will go to the next level and not be nearly as nice, maybe average. that bein said, i’ve seen some pretty good high school teams go against not so good ones, and have never seen this many “amazing” dunks and sh!t
lol looks like an episode of Fresh Prince or a BowWow music video

Cj Leslie needs to go to NC State. Im not a fan of the wolfpack (Duke Baby!!!), but every state fan I meet loves to talk about how Leslie Harrow Brown and some others are gonna make state a title contender. Id love to see the Big 4 rise again

Lucas Shapiro says:
Where ever he goes, he’s bound to dominate. In terms of athleticism, I think he could jump to the league now.
