US parent's hoops ranking system puts own kid #1

Love this story for its unintentional comedy (but it's also a teeny-weeny bit scary): a US dad is so taken by his 15yo son's ability and potential he started his own rankings website which, unbelievably, puts the son number 1 for his age in the country.

In related news, I'm off to buy the URL www.hoopsposters.com which will rank the posters on here. I wonder who'll be number 1?

kid doesnt look too special to me watching the youtube clips mentioned in this article! This is just embarrasing for the kid really! by 14 he would want to be a hell of a lot better than that!

It's an American version of Brendon Joyce.
