I played against Amare in high school when he was at Cypress Creek.

 

And Darius Washington and Jason Rich as well. Although they aren't world-beaters anymore.

I think I see where this thread is going.

In 1988, I played in a pick up game against a team with Chuck Conners Person (the rifleman), then with the Pacers. We had another Pacer on our side, and he guarded Chuck. The rest of us were on the staff of Rose-Hulman Institute in Terre Haute. I remember fouling him to make him miss once. My only hope.

 

And I also played a pick up game against Eddie Bird in 1987. He was cursed with his older brother Larry's reputation and ****iness, but not his brother's ability. He still killed us.

 

My experience is pretty much old school. My high school was straight out of Hoosiers, though it was in Ohio. Only 8 boys in my senior class. I played a single year of small college ball in Texas before I got drafted in 1969. (To the Army, kids, not the NBA. LOL) My coach was Murray Bailey, who had been an All-American at Baylor a few years earlier.

 

In 1975 I started on the US team that won the gold medal in a military olympics in Stuttgart, Germany. That was pretty easy. But then, as a friendship gesture, they made us play them in soccer. Haaa Haaa. Turnabout is fair play, I guess.

Warren Sapp, but it wasn't basketball...

 

Basketball, I've played pick up games with Goose and Sam Vincent. Used to play a lot with Scott Skiles at Sanlando Park. Competitively, Toriano Walker ring a bell to anybody??? Hey, he was the starting C at UConn for 3 years.

In college, I played in a 3-on-3 tournament against a guy who was wearing an Allen Iverson jersey.
