DeAndre Jordan Flashback

Before DeAndre Jordan combined with Blake Griffin and Chris Paul to form "Lob City" with the Clippers or logged one year at Texas A&M, he was a Parade All-American at Christian Life Center Academy in Humble, Texas.

Fitting name for a one-time high school hopeful, who was denied one of the 24 roster slots in the McDonald's All-American Game.

He bounced back quite alright. Bounce being the operative word. Jordan can convert oops with ease, jam home misfires and turn away shots in impressive fashion.  

But, let's rewind for a second to 2007. Click 'Play' above to watch Jordan as a young buck on the come up.
