F I L, where did you play in high school? I might have seen you play. I am trying to think of who the big white kid might be.

LOL Funny story, when I was senior writer for College Talent magazine, I covered the LIT at Louisville Gardens. In one of the first games of the day, Ballard was playing Louisville Eastern. I had seen Ballard on several occasions, including when they won the King of the Bluegrass. I had not seen Eastern play. Ballard was ranked No.1 in the state and in the top 10 in the nation by USA Today. Eastern was not in that class. Needless to say, Ballard won handily but there was a freshman guard that scored 35 for Eastern. This kid could get to the rack on anybody and wasn't scared of Bender and Chiles. The kid was exceptional and I asked Jody Demling, the recruiting writer for the CJ about him. That little skinny freshman from Loisville Eastern is now the NBA All-Star point guard for the Boston Celtics.
