Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Oubre Jr. found his passion for basketball at a young age and worked on his skills and talent with dedication. After his family moved to Texas, he joined George Bush High School in Fort Bend, Texas, before eventually transferring to Findlay Prep School in Henderson, Nevada just before his senior season.
