The basketball community has lost its mind with the arrival of Beckham Black, the younger sibling of Orlando Magic’s Anthony Black. At only 16 years old, this Class of 2027 point guard is stealing the headlines in the Nike EYBL Session II. Well, it’s safe to say he has skills far older than his years.
With a mix of top-class vision, scoring ability, and defensive ferocity, Beckham is fast becoming a show to watch. Apart from making the headlines with his game, he is also gaining endorsement from his NBA-playing brother, ensuring the family basketball heritage.

The second game was against Team Thad, a close 82-79 defeat. Although they lost, Beckham’s play was consistent with 14 points, six rebounds, nine assists, and two steals.
