Mike Nicoll

Wosny Lambre, a commentator on American youth basketball, and Mike Nicoll, director of The Spoils documentary, dive deep into the evolving dynamics of the AAU basketball business. They discuss how youth basketball is increasingly intertwined with social media branding. The duo questions whether the U.S. will maintain its basketball dominance in light of global competition and critiques the current player development system. They also touch on the impact of commercialization and the importance of structured support at grassroots levels for future talent.
