Tatianna Griffin has been climbing her way up the Jordan ladder, all off her dominant play. The 5 Star recruit from Ontario Christian in California was just named as a member of the Naismith Girls’ High School POY Midseason Team, all while averaging 21.4 points and 7.7 rebounds as a high school sophomore.

The 5’11 forward first made her name with Jordan during the global finals of Jordan Brand’s inaugural The One tournament in the summer of 2024. The tournament drew from Michael Jordan’s backyard battles against his older brother Larry and pitted the best high school boys and girls against one another in 1-on-1 settings to see who would be crowned The One.

Griffin not only claimed the crown but won as the youngest competitor in the finals, just 14 at the time. By taking the title of the The One, Griffin earned a year-long partnership with Jordan Brand that culminated in a role in the Air Jordan 40 campaign.

That year wasn’t long enough, apparently. The following year, Griffin added a gold medal to her resume, joining the 2025 USA Women's U16 National Team on averages of 13 points, four boards, and three dimes in limited minutes off the bench.

In that time since her standout wins, Griffin has only become sharper on the court and is heralded as the number one player of the 2028 high school class. A talent that special is too good for Jordan Brand to pass up. Griffin, a Los Angeles native, made an appearance at Jordan’s All-Star Weekend activation, also taking place in the City of Angels, where she was honored with a NIL deal.
