ABOUT US

What Does It Mean to Be a LEGYND?

To be a LEGYND is to let your game do the talking. True LEGYNDS don’t need to shout—their actions say everything. Every late-night practice, every shot taken in silence, every ounce of sweat left on the court—this is the language of LEGYNDS.

It’s about the work ethic that never wavers, the passion that burns brighter with every challenge, and the performance that commands respect without asking for it. It’s about taking risks, trusting your instincts, and doing what others won’t, even when the path is lonely.

LEGYNDS BASKETBALL CLUB embodies this spirit. It’s for the players who refuse to settle, who understand that greatness isn’t handed out—it’s earned through grit, sweat, and sacrifice. It’s for the kids who want more than just a spot on the team—they want their name remembered.

In a world full of noise, LEGYNDS are the quiet storm. They grind when no one’s watching. They stay true to their craft. And when the lights are on, and the stakes are high, they rise. Because LEGYNDS don’t wait for recognition—they demand it, with every play, every shot, and every moment on the court.

This isn’t just basketball. It’s a mindset. A way of life. LEGYNDS aren’t just made—they’re forged. They’re the ones who dare to be different, and in doing so, change the game forever.

Trae Young and Blake Griffin are two of the most elite basketball players of their generation. Both are from Oklahoma. The name LEGYNDS represents Trae and Blake’s desire to come together to provide training and opportunity for the next generation of grassroots athletes in the Oklahoma area.

It takes a large financial commitment to create an elite grassroots basketball organization. To fully develop the next generation of athletes, it became apparent that more could be accomplished together than apart. Having built two successful programs individually over the last several years, Trae and Blake simply believe more can be accomplished together than apart. The program exists to provide opportunities for young players to develop their skills on the court and learn skills that will benefit them long after their basketball careers end.

Both Trae and Blake will equally commit the financial resources to make the program successful. In addition, the combined charitable entity will raise funds from outside sources, which will benefit the growth of grassroots basketball in and around the Oklahoma region.
