I smoked weed with a few former Syracuse Basketball players and an Assistant coach a few times. One of the players is in the NBA, does that count?
Did you ever play with or against a pro athlete in High School?

Re: Did you ever play with or against a pro athlete in High School?
I went to Brooklyn Technical HS and had gym class with the late Conrad McRae, who would later play at Syracuse and then got drafted by the then Washington Bullets. He was a year ahead of me, and he was a very cool dude. He was 6-10, and at 6-3, I was the next tallest dude out there, so I would get stuck guarding him. I would just have fun with it, and talk trash to him, like "you ain't dunking on me in front of all these people, man" and "I'ma take that scholarship away from you", stuff like that. He dunked on me good one time, where he cleared me out with his elbow, but it hit the side of my head, knocked me down and I looked up from the ground to see him hanging on the rim, laughing. Fun times. Sadly he passed away from a heart ailment while playing in the LA Summer League a few years ago, trying to get on with an NBA team.Comment

Not pro again, but I played with Nick Adenhart's little brother this past year, he was freshman throwing 87 MPH. If he "gets it" mentally, he'll have a great shot at going pro. He pitched a pretty good game against the eventual state champs late in the season. The tragedy really threw him off though, it was tough to see him afterward.Originally posted by billmaticRadman is more like the ******** homeless man's version of Okur.Comment

Went to Higgins? I graduated the same year as Skyler, one of my close friends was cool with him in high school. Also have a friend who went to school with Chris Henry. Supposedly was a HUGE jerk.
As for me, I'm not an athlete, but play pick up basketball games at Xavier University with friends down here. One day, with no entourage comes in DJ Augustin with a few friends, this was between his freshman and sophomore years at Texas (damn shame he went out of state). Not really caring how I look on a basketball court and being the best defender of my all my friends, I decided to guard him. Went really well apparently. Don't remember too much about it, everyone keeps telling stories about that day thought. I always get a kick out of it.
Cool guy, really unassuming.
Oh also played Triple Play at my house with Reggie Wayne back when he was in high school. Along with Elvis Joseph (Jaguars KR), who I was really cool with, along with his twin brother Elvin.Comment

My brother played basketball with Dwayne Wade as they were on the same team. I went to school with Demitrious Smith who was on the Lions years ago, but suffered an injury. There was another guy (can't remember his name) that played on the Cowboys for 2 seasons and he screwed that up off the field w/ the police.Comment
