2. Calvin Cambridge
The odds are stacked against Calvin Cambridge. He’s super short and has a shockingly-frightening lack of life experience. I mean, he’s literally a child. But thanks to Calvin’s unflappable spirit and magic sneakers, he’s the runner-up on my fictional hoopers big board.
With the magic MJ sneakers on his feet, Calvin has otherworldly athleticism, an incredible handle, a silky smooth jumper, and a fearlessness on the court that we’ve never seen before. His size and age also give him the rare ability to hustle his NBA opponents. They don’t expect anything out of him. It’s almost a joke when he checks into the game. But he quickly makes it known that it’s a mistake to underestimate him.
Cambridge would put the Bulls back on the map right away. Can you imagine him running the fastbreak with Coby White and Zach LaVine? It would be the weirdest fastbreak of all time but possibly the most lethal.
