Played AAU ball in the late 90s and 2000 for a team that played in the Nike peach jam so quite a few. Tracy mcgrady, dejaun Wagner, Tyson Chandler, Ronnie brewer (Jr), Gerald Wilkins, Gerald Wallace, Gerald green. Played on Joe Johnsons Arkansas rockets AAU team with him and Jared Hart. Bam doyne for ole miss was a sophomore on my highschool basketball team when I was a senior. Bradford donley (Texas San Antonio) and Terrance Adkins (ualr) played on my Jr high team. Mike Jones that played at arkansas is my older cousin by a year and one month. I'm going to royally screw this spelling up lol but tavirous uzqwkie (sp) who played at Arkansas Monticello and finished as the 7th leading three point shot maker in NCAA history was on my Jr high team when in was in 8th grade and was on the rockets AAU team with me as well. If I had to pick a point guard to lead a high school team it would be t, dude literallyh does not miss lol, perfect point guard.

Now I'm mentally going through highschool basketball schedule. Sonny weems my senior year, actually twice we were in the same conference, at west Memphis. McClellan had a 7 footer that played for ualr I played my Jr year whose name I don't remember. Kim Adams for Arkansas state at ja fair Jr year. Matt Jones at van Buren in basketball as well. Dude was a bad man

I also played baseball with Chris Harristhe safety for the bears \ panthers and his twin brother from like tee ball to pony league their dad is a legendary little league coach in little rock

Boris Becker - Was at John Newcolbe's place in Florida taking some lessons, got matched up against him, he kicked my arse. He was 13 or 14 I think.

Stewart Cink - local golf tournaments. He was 16 or 17 last time I beat him.

Edit - dang, high school. Nobody then unfortunately those were after.

No idea but I still have a faster 40 than my former teammate who now is an RB for the Bengals. He beats me on Salary though, by a few zeros
