Also met Vasquez at Cornerstone when I was at UMD. He was cool.. had a chick on his lap so I just dapped him up, "good game", and kept it movingOriginally Posted by RustyShackleford
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

i played ball with Anthony Randolph at a 24hr fitness up in Frisco, Texas.
even though we only played 4 on 4 because it was close to midnight that night, i told the kid he would be something someday. I'm still waiting Mr. Anthony Randolph!

Sherron (we were on the same little league baseball team as shorties)
and then just a few D-Leaguers/Overseas cats like Jake Pullen, Osiris Eldridge, Chris Singleton
My brother put 33 on Dahntay Jones head last year at a Pro-Am in the Chi... I know he can atleast make it to the D-League man, just all about who you know to get you there. He's a year older than me so I know he got a fighters chance. But he's a 6'0 PG who can't quite boom it yet, and isn't physically as big as the rest so the odds are stacked against him heavily. Still grinding tho

* this while CV attended Newtown in Queens. Played a box and one against him and I was assigned to stay with him. He didn't shoot.

Played on the same middle school team as Lance Stephenson, Seth Low out here in Brooklyn. Dude was a beast since he was like 12. He was 6 foot 3 in the 7th grade -_- He was a funny guy, never picked on me but he would play pranks on people all the time.
Played pick up games with Sebastian Telfair while he was still in high school and I was in middle school in Coney Island, dude was quick and had some sick handles.

I think some of you guys are straight fools for thinking you know some of these guys personally because you played some pickup with them. Even if it was organized ball, you know how many dudes they have played against to this point?
Even if you were on their team at some point, would they know your name if you walked up to them on the street?
That being said, no I don't know any NBA players, MA doesn't produce many. Have played against some D1 players though.

Thaddeus Young
Lou Williams
Lester Hudson
Arnett Moultrie
Brandan Wright
Tony Allen (met him a lot since he's been in Memphis and real cool)
Derrick Byars
Mo Speights
That's all I can think of right now. Penny Hardaway is another one. Some was in my graduation class and teammates when I was 13-14. Some I personally know like Byars, Moultrie and Hudson. Some are just cool and I see them a lot, but we not like best friends or nothing.
And as for Penny, he lives next door to my best friend and I'm cool with his daughter.

Grew up with Bernard James and his brothers. I used to murder that fool in Tekken 2. Whats crazy about Bernie is that he never played ball. His older brother Sherard was a beast of an athlete. It's just mad wild to see Bernie get drafted and see Sherard's career never pan out. Its inexplicable really. Bernie NEVER played basketball growing up. He didnt start hoopin until he joined the service. He's got tremendous upside because he really has only been playing the game for like 7 years. It's crazy. Bernie wasn't even an athlete of any sorts and now son is a NBA baller.
