    I grew up going to Kingsland, and judging from your moniker, you went to my High School and possibly played on my basketball team. What class did you graduate from THS? Small world.

    Yep, Crandall was an *******. He drove me out of the program too. Coach Armstrong was hands down the best coach, mentor I ever had though. He even came out to coach my AAU team, on charity, just to help me out.

    Your freshman year would have been my sophomore year, and if you were in the basketball class then looks like we know each other. Haha, so....., who the f**k are you man? The curiosity is killing me.

    Guarded Johnny Dawkins during a pick up game a couple years ago. I was defending him pretty tight at first. He told me I didn't need to try so hard. It was a close game until end, when he hit three three-pointers right in my eye.

    At West Virginia University, I played in a playground game where I guarded Renaldo Turnbull, who went on to become a Pro Bowl defensive lineman with the Saints.
    It was ... scary.
    Also, I played in an intramural basketball game in the early 1980s against some football players, including new Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez.

    I played with Robert ''50'' Martin AKA the cousin of Kenyon Martin, he's from AND1 Mixtape and he is in the ABA for the moment. I played with him in last February along with Tim Jennings another ABA player.

    I do because Dave Feitl was my response as well. I think I was at 2nd baptist actually when I played, but it was a long time ago and I might have been mistaken and it was Tallowood.

    The thing about Feitl is that he was kind of ass. He was getting p.o'd when somebody would stop him, and at one point he slammed the ball against the floor in center court as hard as he could like a little spoiled baby.

    Matt Maloney, in a pickup game at Vanderbilt before he transferred to Penn. Of all the Vandy scholarship athletes I played against, he gave the least effort by far.

    I played against Jordan Farmer, but I don't know if that is famous. LOL! Its funny because he is a pretty smart dude and we got a long pretty while and partnered up on a lot of projects since he had all the small classes in high school. But on the court, he took it easy on me until I told him not you and I realized why he had a shot at the NBA and I didn't! :(

    The year before that, I saw Gilbert Arenas during his sophomore year on my high school basketball team, but like Jordan Farmer, he ditched the school for another one. Stupid basketball coach made all the future-NBA players run to other schools! :mad:
