The Generation Next Basketball Association middle school platform took the country by storm two years ago as its debut added yet another high quality basketball platform to the NY2LA Sports high quality family of events. Its debut instantly brought organization and structure to the middle school grassroots world and at the same time it featured some of the hottest young prospects and teams on the circuit.
