Dear @KingJames,
My 17 year old son James, the Black King of Aurora IL, was featured on FOX & ABC as "King James" 👑 You are his GOAT & our whole family is flying to LA for the very first time to see you play March 31st. We can’t wait to meet you. #LakeShow #KingJames

[Stellar Hoops 🏢 @StellarHoops]

Class of 2026 6’3 88 West Pro 16 (IL) James Baker made a name for himself at the Elite 60 National Camp. James uplifts his teammates, scores on the perimeter, impressive perimeter defender, forces ball handlers to make uncomfortable decisions, finishes and gets to his spots.

[Dr. Greg Baker @DrGregBaker]

Continue thriving to do your best in all things on and off of the court @iamjamesbaker! Not only did you perform well at this weekend’s @StellarHoops, “Elite 60,” but last week you were selected for the CCC’s (Chicagoland Christian Conference) “All Academic Conference.”
Good job!
