My soph year in high school I got blocked probably about 4-5 times, by Amare Stoudamire. I believe he had 16 blocks that game if I remember right. When he played for Lake Wales HS in FL. I played for Winter Haven HS.

What kind of summer league was this. That's hilarious though that you got dunked on. I'd want that memory.

Summer HS league. He was only a Sophomore, I was a Junior.

I actually tried to foul him, and he just took me along for the ride and dunked it anyway. He was damn near unstoppable in HS.

My senior year of HS, we played Napoleon Kauffman, I got a good hit on him early in the game. Later in the game he turned the corner and I thought I was going to get another shot on him (he weighed maybe 150 lbs. at the time) he shook me so bad, all of my muscles just locked up on me, and I just fell down and didn't lay a finger on him.

The best I have are old school guys:

I played against A guy named Pete Lisicky who went to PSU in a scrimmage in HS Basketball when I was a Senior and he was a Freshman. I heard he plays In Europe now

I also played against Billy McCaffrey, the one who went to Duke then transferred to Vanderbuilt, at a basketball camp. He is the Brother of Ed McCaffery who played Wide Receiver for the Broncos.

I feel like there is someone else but I can't remember who.

Re: Anyone Play against any current or retired athletes?

I can't think of anyone great that I've played against although when I played this one team there were scouts from Michigan, Oklahoma, and some other places but I don't know who they were there for. I played on the same team as Daniel Evans and a whole bunch of people who are on NC State's football team, although they were on varsity and I was on JV. A guy I played with is on Akron's football team but he's redshirted, and one of my friend's and former teammate is on Miami(OH) team. And of people I know who play, I have a cousin who plays for Southern Miss and I have another cousin who played for Washington St. but had to leave because of grades.

Shawn kemp when he was in High School at Concord in the Northern Indiana Conference ( NIC ) We played at Concord and they were ranked #1 in the state...and I swear to God the thunder that was coming from that gymnasium as we set in the locker room pre-game was the loudest I have ever heard in all the Gyms in Indiana I have ever been in.

Re: Anyone Play against any current or retired athletes?

Played against Javin Hunter (Notre Dame/Ravens) in a high school scrimmage and Ricky Bryant who went to Ohio State in our homecoming game senior year. Almost got to attempt to tackle him after he picked our QB but he went out of bounds, earmuffs.

Our QB my junior year, Rob Johnson (no, not that one) ended up getting a scholarship to Northwestern and playing Receiver for them, (quite possibly my favorite NCAA (PS) moment was finding him on the roster) he's bouncing around Arena or the CFL from what I hear, living the dream I guess.
