Only mildly successful athlete I ever played with was Rich McBride who played basketball for Illinois and is now an assistant coach for some college team. We went to the same high school but he was 3 years ahead of me. We played a couple pickup games of basketball in gym. One game he called me out because I was the one player on the other team that he hadn't schooled yet and he was a bit cocky about it and I ended up stealing the ball and taking it the other way for a lay up. Another time we were on the same team and I tossed him an alley-oop. But he was probably like 10 inches taller than me at the time so there were plenty of times when he just swatted my shit away like it was nothing.
Other than that only names around my area that come to mind that have actually made it are Andre Iguodala who also went to my high school, but before my time, and Jayson Werth.
