As the No. 2 pick in the draft, Brandon Ingram is one of the most recognizable rookies in the league, and perhaps Los Angeles’ next superstar, but just a few short years ago he was like any other young athlete: a relatively unknown player trying to make a name for himself.
Ingram’s story starts in the basketball-crazy town of Kinston, North Carolina, the hometown of NBA players like Reggie Bullock and Jerry Stackhouse. It didn’t take long for basketball to become Ingram’s obsession and he quickly found himself spending long nights in the gym with his dad and brother.
His talent was undeniable, but it wasn’t until he began playing extensively on the AAU circuit that his career really took off. Ingram began working with his idol, Jerry Stackhouse, forming a bond that remains strong to this day. Eventually, Ingram joined Stackhouse’s AAU team, Stackhouse Elite, and his career exploded.
#Prepare4Greatness…Double-Doubles
I have a story to compare with Brandon Ingram achieving Double-Doubles, his name is Logan Vosburg aka Mr Double-Doubles in the state of North Carolina and neighboring states. Logan was born in Durham, NC, he is a senior at Orange High School in Hillsborough, NC. Last season alone Logan earned 4x more double-doubles than the next closest player. Logan has been a 4 yr varsity starter earning over 1300 points and over 900 rebounds in his high school career. Week after week, game after game Logan steadily achieved double-doubles. Some weeks it was 15 pts and 11 rbs, other weeks it was 26 pts and 22 rbs. Logans work ethic is 247×365, working in the gym either shooting, skills and drills, weight lifting, yoga and stretching or just watching game film, he is all in all the time .
Logan can been reached using the email attached most any time you’d like to see for yourself how he earned the title of Mr. DOUBLE-DOUBLE.
