To be eligible for this list, each player must have completed their high school basketball career, or at minimum, played at least two full season, at a local Las Vegas high school. These criteria ensure that every athlete recognized here made their impact on the Vegas prep scene, leaving a legacy tied directly to the city’s basketball culture.

Prep schools are not included in this list. Programs like Findlay Prep and Simply Fundamental are excluded because they operated on a national level, recruiting talent from across the country and competing primarily on national circuits. While based in Las Vegas, their ties to the local high school basketball community were limited, and as such, they fall outside the scope of this list.

“Criteria for inclusion:

Senior Eligibility: Players who began their senior season in 2005-2006 are eligible and mark the starting point of the 20-year window.

Freshman Class Eligibility: Players who entered high school in the fall of 2021 and have graduate in 2025 are eligible for inclusion.

How It Will Roll Out

Each release will offer more than just names — it will provide context, key stats, career highlights, and an honest assessment of each player’s impact on the game. From overlooked gems to household names, this rollout is designed to celebrate the full scope of talent the city has produced.
