I used to have gym class with DJ Kennedy (Cavs).  He never used to hoop in gym class (that I remember) which I always thought was odd.  Really laid back guy though.  I will say one thing though, his brother is really about that life, no dry snitching.
I went to HS with Dejaun Blair too, spoke to him intermittently, but never really got cool with him or anything.

I think I saw a guy in the draft thread who knew Dion Waiters...who else is out there
 
O.J. Mayo
Orlando Johnson
Austin Rivers
Eric Gordon
Baron Davis
James Harden
Demar Derozan

and a few others
 
Played with Quincy Douby once at Grady playground. Saw Sebastian Telfair and Lance Stephenson in person when they were in high school.
 
Calvin Ray Richardson- He's not in the league anymore, was, and was working in the league until he had this quote where he said something about, "my Jew lawyers" and got blackballed and ended up coaching the local CBA team. They used to practice on Fort Sill at the gym we played pickup ball at on weekends so we would all be sitting on the sides waiting for them to finish and he'd come chop it us with us sometimes, and sometimes he hung around and watched us play 21 and a few runs. I spoke to him intermittently a few times, and their office is in the mall, and dude literally every time I saw him would come over and dap me up and speak and still does to this day

. He's like the nicest dude I have met that I don't know. Even last season I saw him at a playoff game and he offered me a courtside lower seat because he said someone he was waiting for wasnt gonna show, it's like a $500 face (1250 street) ticket. CBA disbanded and the team went to another league, then got cheated by the team Ronnie Fields plays on in the championship and the owner killed the team though after that. He still lives here though.

Did Taj Gray ever play in the league? He is pretty down to Earth too, hooped with us and hung out a few times. Can't identify real J's from fake ones though
 
Mario Chalmers
Brandon Rush

Darnell Jackson

Shady Arthur

Sherron Collins

Taj Gray every play in the league

Meet Rudy Gay like over 8 times, had a couple conversation with him. Really cool dude 

Chopped in with Grevis Vasquez at UMD a couple times and hoop with him a once at the Rec Center. Seriously one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Was breaking ankles all over the place, so glad he was on my team

Have chopped it up with Tyrus Thomas many times before, wouldn't say I know him. Many other LSU/Louisiana/Baton Rouge ballers that are acquaintances.
Also know a handful of various dudes who played a little pro ball as well as overseas. I know more pro football players than basketball.

Glad to say I do not know that line stepping goof Big Baby.
