  • For Release, December 16, 1998 Contact
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Julie Mason (412-496-3196) GATORADE® NATIONAL BOYS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR: BRANDON KNIGHT Former Miami Heat Center and Gatorade Boys Basketball Player of the Year Alonzo Mourning Surprises Standout with Elite Honor FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (March 23, 2010) – In its 25th year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with ESPN RISE, today announced Brandon Knight of Pine Crest School (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) as its 2009-10 Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Knight was surprised with the news during his second period class at Pine Crest School by former Miami Heat Center Alonzo Mourning, who earned Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year honors in 1987-88. “When I received this award in 1988, it was a really significant moment for me, so it felt great to surprise Brandon with the news and invite him into one of the most prestigious legacy programs in high school sports,” said Mourning, a Gold Medalist, seven-time NBA All-Star, and two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. “Gatorade has been on the sidelines fueling athletic performance for years, so to be recognized by a brand that understands the game and truly helps athletes perform is a huge honor for these kids.” Knight becomes the first-ever student athlete from the state of Florida to repeat as Gatorade National Player of the Year in any sport. He joins 2009 NBA MVP LeBron James (2002-03 & 2001-02, St. Vincent-St. Mary, Akron, Ohio) and 2007 NBA Draft Number One Overall Pick Greg Oden (2005-06 & 2004-05, Lawrence North, Indianapolis, Ind.) as the only student-athletes to win Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year honors in consecutive seasons.

  • The Case for Kevin By
    The Case for Kevin By Http://DraftKevinDurant.Blogspot.Com 24 June 2007 Please send comments, questions, corrections and additional citations to: [email protected] Background : In 1984, a decision was made that altered the course of the Portland Trailblazers and left mental and emotional scars on their fan base that exist to this day. That decision, of course, was to draft Kentucky center Sam Bowie with the team’s #2 pick in the NBA draft, leaving Michael Jordan, who became the undisputed greatest basketball player in the history of the world, to the Chicago Bulls at #3. In a recent interview, Houston Rockets President Ray Patterson defended the Blazers’ decision to draft Bowie, stating, “Anybody who says they would have taken Jordan over Bowie is whistling in the dark. Jordan just wasn't that good.”1 “Jordan just wasn’t that good? ” Reading that quote more than twenty years later, it’s almost impossible to fathom that there existed a day in which “basketball people,” the executive who today are paid millions of dollars to judge the relative mental and athletic skills of teenagers, could not determine that the mythic Michael Jordan was, and would be, a better basketball player than the infamous Sam Bowie. Many things have changed since 1984: AAU youth basketball allows fans to watch players at younger ages, the internet disperses grainy street court video across the world, the NBA has its own television network making famous any and all of its players, mathematical algorithms are used by executives to aid in personnel judgment, and scouts, writers, journalists and bloggers are able to weigh the relative merits of players in ways never thought possible in 1984.
