AAU Basketball has provided a venue for young people to develop their hooping prowess while also having fun. The competition is one of the most well-known competitive tournaments in the United States. AAU gathers the best players in the country in one location and is renowned for the competition and opportunity for growth it offers.

In recent years, several NBA players have started to influence the youth basketball landscape by forming their own AAU teams. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, LeBron James, and a slew of other stars have formed their own squads. For some reason, the AAU teams of the three NBA superstars mentioned are all based in Kansas City.

Former NBA player, Robert Horry, decided to shed some light on the exact same subject. The legend disclosed on his podcast, “The Big Shot Bob Pod with Robert Horry,” that he was in Kansas City for an AAU tournament. His son will compete in the tournament and he is there to cheer him.

When asked about the tournament, Horry said, “It’s one of those tournaments when you look at all the teams, it’s like ‘Why did these NBA players get together and wanted to come to Kansas City.’ Because the majority of the teams are NBA teams. We got Team Durant, we got ‘Why Not’ which is what Christian’s (Horry’s son) playing for which is (Russell) Westbrook’s team. You got Team Melo…you have LeBron’s team.”

“It’s like 7 NBA players that have AAU teams. I’m like, ‘Dude, you all got enough money. Let’s just do it somewhere easy to get to… not Kansas City.”

Robert Horry humorously conveyed his frustration. He is correct, though, because the tremendous volume of traffic in Kansas City will annoy anyone.

His travel will continue because the NBA legend has a packed schedule in the coming weeks. He’ll be heading to Atlanta after his trip in Kansas City, and then to Vegas.

The forward starred for four NBA teams: the Houston Rockets, the Phoenix Suns, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the San Antonio Spurs. With the Rockets, he won two rings. Horry was an integral part of the Lakers’ three-peat squad. The other two rings he earned with the Spurs, where he finished his career.
