Andre Chevalier, who's coached sons of LeBron James, Scottie Pippen and Dwyane Wade, calls himself the 'head of the snake' of the Sierra Canyon basketball team.
Andre Chevalier always tucked his hand in his pocket. Out of sight. Basketball shorts, though, do not have pockets. And when he was 12 years old, fresh after a move from Maryland to North Hollywood while trying out for the East Valley Trojans, coach Eli Essa couldn’t help but notice something peculiar about the short kid in layup lines.
Chevalier has molded five future NBA players, as well as the sons of current and former NBA stars LeBron James , Dwyane Wade , Scottie Pippen , Penny Hardaway and Kenyon Martin .There’s a unique spotlight on the small gym in Chatsworth. Michael B. Jordan has sat courtside. So have Floyd Mayweather. Kim and Khloe Kardashian.
On Friday night, after his first game with Sierra Canyon, Swinton told The Times he transferred largely for a fresh start because his grandfather, who was from California, died of lung cancer.,” Chevalier said. “Sometimes we lose sight of that, because we have our own agenda. They’re children. So talk about me. I’m the culprit.”“Everybody focused on his withered hand … but I think there’s more to him than that. I think Andre’s a decent man.
His goal, taking over in 2017, was to build a college-level program. That didn’t just mean basketball. When Bronny James and Zaire Wade entered the school before the 2019-20 season, the hype around an already-national name skyrocketed. “We’re going to do some things sometimes that’s new, and it’s not going to work, and you guys are going to talk trash about us,” Chevalier said. “And it will only make me better because I’ll make the adjustment, and we’ll be great at it.”
