Who are some players that you scrimmaged against (either attempting to make it from college or in the NBA now)? Do you have any thoughts/stories about it?
I worked out with the Hawks, Bucks and Rockets this summer and saw a bunch of players on those teams. Also, just being around basketball at a high level has given me the opportunity to meet lots of guys in person. Kevin Garnett is the coolest guy in the NBA that I have met personally and the women go nuts of Wally Sczerbiak (sp?). I know and have spent a lot of time with Michael Curry who is a long time veteran and president of the NBA player's association right now I believe.

As far as guys trying to make it to the league right now. I now a few guys on the GA Tech squad personally, especially I'smhail Muhammad who is the younger brother of one of my former teammates. I also played on the same team with a young guy named Marko Tomas http://nbadraft.net/profiles/markotomas.asp
who has great potential before I was able to get the hell out of Croatia. I have played against Joey Graham from OK St a bunch of times. Louis Williams, the top high school player in the country right now lives near me in Georgia and played on my brother's AAU team so I know him too. He's something special.

Man, I know a lot of people in basketball and I'm leaving a bunch out but we would be here for a while otherwise. Those mentioned above are just guys who you can find out about with a quick google search if you like.

As far as stories go I will just say this. Professional basketball players are just ordinary guys with extraordinary means that allow them access to things ordinary people can't get. Women, houses, things, cars, you name it. These guys are able to do and afford the things that everyone else wants. It's a crazy lifestyle.
