CHATSWORTH, Calif. — The crowd began to form almost as soon as the three matching SUVs pulled into Chatsworth High School’s parking lot.
A few dozen starstruck students rushed to the gym and clustered around the entrance, necks craned and phones pointed. They all wanted a photo or video of one of Southern California’s most celebrated basketball teams before its players disappeared into the gym to practice.
No, not the Lakers, nor the Clippers. The cause of this frenzy was the arrival of Sierra Canyon’s basketball team headlined by the teenaged sons of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade and a handful of other heavily recruited prospects.
