Have played pick-up against Caron Butler, Kendall Marshall, Scottie Reynolds.

Bradley Beal used to come in my store all the time (at Tyson's Corner) during the summer, but dude never buys anything lol

When I was a senior at Garfield he was a freshman but transferred right after I graduated. Obviously showing my age I went there when Brandon Roy was there, one of the most chill dudes you could ever know. He just never had a big head about who he was or his skill. Funny though if you would have asked anyone would he make the NBA most would have said naw, but college BB is a lock. Real sad to see how his career turned out, but i'm glad he some time to shine and get paid.

I knew Nate more through my brother he went to University of Washing the same time he was there. My little brother and Tony Wroten are damn near best friends. Seattle a small place.
 
Don't know him personally, but I used to see Rudy Gay at open gyms in the Bmore area. My boy went to Eastern Tech HS with him before he transferred to a private school

Also played pickup with Henry Sims (Georgetown, now on the Cavs)
 
I've played against some and have met a few others but I can't say I know any of them personally. I know a handful of NFL players though.

Don't know him all too well, but Jrue Holiday broke my ankles at a tournament in HS. Met him a couple times after that when Ben Howland would come to our HS when he was recruiting our starting PG to go to UCLA with Jrue that year.

Good times.
 
Played w/ Flip Murray for a few summers straight at a dinky gym by my place in Raleigh.  Never even really saw him try.  He knew me because I was the only white kid that played there and could shoot a bit.

Played against Ryan Kelly in high school and played with him at the Y

Guarded Harrison Barnes at one of these types of things. Kendall Marshall, Reggie Bullock, and John Henson were all playing too. 

 
Greg Smith (Rockets) used to whoop my *** every time we'd match up before I was a teenager. Coached against Jabari Bird (Cal freshman) in AAU a lot, my brother played for the team I coached. He was a pretty good player but Bari would work him like it was no competition.
 
^ I played with Greg as well :lol:

He went to Bethel high school (Vallejo, CA) his freshman year and was on JV when I was on var. Dude was like 6'10 as a freshman. Think he transfered to a school in Arizona after his days at Bethel before eventually going to fresno st. I remember this fool went thru all our bags on some goon ish during the varsity game after the JV game and stole my ipod shuffle. Funny cause when he found out it was mine he gave it back at school the next day :lol:
 
Jimmer is from around my area, he's younger than me so I never knew him like that, couple of my boys are close with him tho. Cool dude, he always could shoot I tell you that no d tho my younger cousin gave him buckets in hs.

Allan Houston was my neighbor for about 6 years, he's the man, we never spoke much but I would always wave to him and his wife whenever he drove by. Shot hoops with him at the local Y while he was doing some charity town event, I was a younin during that time and thats when I offcially told him I was his neighbor. After that, thats when I started waving and saying hello. Never bothered him tho, my friends would always say something stupid like "You're such a big Knick's fan, go over to his house, play some ball with him, ask him for eggs or sugar, do something". But na, I was good.

Besides that, nada. No NBA players.
 
It seems like those Seattle dudes are TIGHT with each other man. Moreso than any group of nba players from any other city. Nate is probably a wild dude man.
