Author notesorry for taking so long to update something's poped up in my personal life thanks for your patience

Also list the college you want him to go to in the comments

Begin

Naruto brought the ball up court on his last high school game determined to win the game with this next shot the score was currently tied between Olympic and West Charlotte with 20 seconds left on the clock

As Naruto brought the ball up he could see West Charlotte focusing purely on him putting their SF ( usually the best defender on the team) on him for the last possession of the game

Naruto stopped at the top of the key and called for an iso. Naruto dribbled between each leg while walking closer to his defender suddenly with the ball in his left hand he did a hesitation then ran right with 5 seconds left and did a step back.

Naruto had his defender beat but he didn't see the other defender coming to contest his shot. Naruto shot the ball with the help defender hitting his hand.

Everyone went quiet as they watched the ball Naruto being the most panicked because he couldn't tell if it was going in or not.

The ball hit the rim and popped into the air than fell in the hoop causing the crowd to cheer and his teammates to jump him. The only one not happy though was Naruto.

The shot that just went in wasn't in his control it was pure luck. Naruto hated that the most and he swore he would double his efforts to be the greatest PG in basketball history.

Timeskip next morning

Naruto woke up early it was summer vacation now and it was time for him to think of the school he wanted to go to.He got multiple scholarship offers from big schools not only from his basketball talent but also for his intelligence.

You can't run the offense of a team if you didn't have atleast some brain was what his mother said when she saw the scholarships that didn't involve basketball. He laughed remembering how proud his family was at seeing the scholarships.

He sat down on the coach with a smoothie ready to relax. While he was flicking through the channels he saw First Take and the headline read Naruto Namikaze pro's and con's is he overhyped.

Steve Kerr was the first to talk "Does the kid have talent? yes. Does he deserve to be dubbed the next Kyrie? no. I dont see why everyone keeps calling him that, yes he can dribble above average and yes he can shoot but he has no talent in any other subject"

Stephen A. Smith spoke up next "He's only in high school and has plenty of time to develop those skills and refine what he's already good at. The kid is only 18 and hasn't even said what college he's going to!"

"exactly my point" Kerr interrupted "who says he can dominate college like he dominated high school. where he would compete with scorers of the same caliber"

Naruto turned off the TV and walked out side to clear his bad mood from what Steve Kerr said about his game and the skills he worked so hard to develop.

What he didn't know was that his parents were upstairs watching First Take talk about their son. Kushina was very upset "how dare they talk about my baby like that i want to see them try to do the things he do".

While Kushina was having her rant Minato was thinking logically. As much as he hated to admit it Steve Kerr was right. Naruto completely lacked in every other aspects of basketball. He cant dunk currently despite being 6'4 and his lay-ups God dont get me started on them. If he goes to college like this he would be completely locked down once they find out he can only shoot reliably.

Minato looked on google for a private coach for his son. He saw this app called coach up endorsed by Stephen Curry himself.

After he downloaded the app and signed up he searched for 5 star coaches and clicked on the best one. No matter the cost he would get the best coach available to help his so achieve greatness at the next level.

The best coach available was the one and only Tracy McGrady one of the best players in NBA history. Minato was extremely excited to have a legend be his son's personal coach.

Time skip 2 hours

Naruto came back home to a strange sight it was just his mom and dad sitting in the living room extremely happy for no apparent reason. Kushina couldn't hold it in and told her baby that they got a surprise for him and to check his phone.

Naruto checked his phone to find a message from a unknown number. He opened it and dropped his phone it read "Hello Naruto im Tracy McGrady and your parents hired me to take your game to the next level and i promise under my tutelage you'll be a NBA star one day."

His parents explained to him that he would be moving to Houston until he chooses a college to go to. Naruto was a little upset at moving but it was overwhelmed by his excitement to train under the legend himself.

Time skip

Naruto just arrived at Houston and was looking for Tracy McGrady who was supposed to pick him up from the airport.

Naruto got outside to see a huge crowd of people around an SUV and a couple of bodyguards around the SUV also.

Naruto walked up to the SUV and one of the guards recognized him and asked "Are you Naruto Namikaze". "yes i am" Naruto replied

"Tracy McGrady is waiting for you in the car with a special guest".

Naruto was curious who the special guest was and opened the door to see James Harden and Tracy McGrady having a conversation. Naruto almost passed out from seeing 2 legendary players in the NBA.

Tracy McGrady noticed Naruto first and said "Hello Naruto I'm your new coach and the first thing i need to know is what you need to improve on. So i brought some assistance from someone you may notice. When we get to my personal basketball court you'll have a 1v1 with James Harden to gauge your skill currently".

End

Like i said above im sorry for not updating and leave a college for Naruto to go to.
