For the basketball fans out there...
I was about 15 years old and one of my best friends at the time had this kid from Gary, IN staying with him during the summer cause they played on the same AAU team...Got to know the kid pretty well, he is telling me these stories how IU, Illinois, Louisville, UK and so on were sending him letter and calling him already...We played a lot of ball together that summer, so I knew he was pretty decent considering he was a year younger than me...But IU, UK and you are only 14? Yeah, right....
A couple years pass and I see that some kid from Gary, IN is named Indiana Mr. Basketball....Couple more years pass and that same kid was the National College Player of the year...Another year passes and he is the 1st pick in the NBA Draft....A couple weeks ago he was playing on Sunday during the NBA ALL Star game wearing a Milwaukee Bucks #13 jersey...
I probably should have believed him....And kept in better touch for that matter...
