And1 Rebound Mid
The Chilean under-15 national team definitely had a huge boost with
young Javier Barra joining the squad this month. Standing at 2.08 meters tall (roughly 6’ 10”),
this 14 year old is projected by his countrymen as the next (literally) big
thing in Chile basketball. Click HERE

Recruited by Manuel Cordova, coach of Chile national teams, Javier has a distinct advantage in the post, both in offense and defense, and according to scouting reports, is improving steadily his skill and techniques in playing the game.
According to an interview by a Chile website (Mobile BiobioChilem, translated to English), Barra said “I am with all the desire to continue training and get into the selection. This is a very new experience for me, I see that basketball is all a way for me. In fact this sport forward hopefully take me to get a scholarship that allows me to study at a time. I never thought I was going to happen so, reaching the national preselection, I'm very excited, because I used to play for entertainment and now is something else. I have good shot and my height is easy for me to win the rebounds. Besides, I like to defend."
It is interesting to note that this youngster is
wearing an And1 Chile jersey in the images provided, and is using the And1
Rebound Mid. I am not surprised about
the choice of footwear, given it is a very sturdy and solid shoe, plus it
definitely matches this kid’s game..wearing the Rebound Mids while hauling down
the rebounds.
