It's NBA All-Star Weekend 2014, and that means it's time for the best basketball players in the world to put their skills and athleticism on display.
MaxPreps has seen these athletes grow from aspiring superstars to the real thing, and our extensive photography and videography networks have been there to capture it all.
For example, did you know that Utah Jazz rookie Trey Burke and Boston Celtics forward Jared Sullinger were high school teammates? So were reigning slam dunk champion Terrence Ross and Rising Stars game participant Terrence Jones.
Join us as we look at high school photos and video of some of the participants in this weekend's festivities.
