Lightning Amateur Basketball Club

Yaxel Lendeborg missed three years of High School ball because of academic struggles He worked to improve his grades and was able to JUST make a team before the season ended, and performed well enough to make it to a community college, where he then became the NJCAA’s all-time leading rebounder He then transferred to UAB, where he became one of two players in Division I history to record over 600 points, 400 rebounds and 150 assists in a single season. The other player is Larry Bird. Afterwards, he transferred to Michigan and performed well enough to be a potential first rounder in the ‘25 draft But he stayed and wanted to build upon that legacy and lift up his draft stock even more. And he did just that, becoming a national champion and a potential lottery level draft pick. Yaxel’s story isn’t one that should be ridiculed. It should be one that’s praised — because worked hard at every level to get to where he’s at
