In an interview with AND 1’s Antwan “8th Wonder” Scott the 6-8 former Wake Forest standout mentioned that “he never thought [he] would actually play in a streetball game because [he] didn’t grow up playing streetball.” After dropping 28 in his first game and getting his nickname from Duke Tango he talked about the “respect” he earned. Something more than just word of mouth makes a true streetballer. A person true to the street respects his hood and NEVER puts negative energy onto it. I might be in the minority on this opinion but I’ll run with it here in NYC. Check how Antwan has served his community for years in the highlight below:
The Shorty Rock Mixtape series is a tribute to young players who have game that is built to win.
I first saw Marcus Floyd at John Lucas’ International Middle School Combine in May. I left saying that he was one of the top ball handlers in the country. Marcus starts our mixtape series as one of the shorty rocks that has the outdoor flair that will translate to a strong indoor game in high school and college. As DJ Funkmaster Flex tells his man Cipha Sounds ‘Don’t get gassed!!!’, I’m telling young Floyd the same.
Nevertheless, he is an elite talent and if he keeps working hard he is on his way to bigger and better things.
Marcus Floyd – 9th grade – Wilmington, DE
Footwork: Light, explosive with hezzo.
Finishing Style: Strong floater with body bump confrontation skills
Boost Mobile Elite 24: Likely

There were a lot of great dunks from Midnight Madness this year, but probably none better than Wagner’s Josh Thompson dunking over his mom. The 6-5 junior knew he had to bring it to win the contest – especially with Darryl Dawkins as one of the judges – and did just that with this dunk. Read More »

Remember back when it was okay to play ball for three or four hours every day? In the summer, you could wake up at 9 a.m. and hit the YMCA, or you could wait until the sun dipped behind the shadows and ball at 9 at night. It really didn’t matter. Basketball was all that mattered. Not bills. Not school. Not a job. Not cars or gas or clothes or girls or money or the future. Your entire life revolved around a 94 by 50 rectangle, a ball, a hoop and whoever else wanted to share it with you. Read More »
