The 1982 Baltimore Dunbar high school basketball team. They had 4 players go on to success in the NBA (David Wingate, Reggie Lewis, Reggie Williams and tiny Tyrone "Mugsy" Bogues) plus another 4 players that got D1 college scholarships, including one who never started a game in high school.

And the colorful backstory - the Dunbar neighborhood was mostly housing projects and was literally one of the worst and most crime-infested areas in the country back then. Still bad obviously, but it was Juarez-bad back then. The Dunbar team won something like 70 games in a row but another Baltimore HS team - an all white Catholic school in the suburbs - was also undefeated and went wire to wire ranked #1 in the HS rankings and were crowned national champions instead of Dunbar.
