A silent revolution occurred two weeks after my eighth grade graduation: four high school seniors--Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, Eddy Curry, and DeSagana Diop--were picked in the first eight slots of the 2001 NBA Draft. Darius Miles had been the third pick the year before, but an exodus like this had never been seen.

The Black squad defeated the White squad in Saturday night's Jordan Brand Classic at Madison Square Garden. The 110-103 final score was the game's closest margin after the opening minutes. The match up of top High School talent was marked by lax effort and poor play, even by showcase/exhibition standards. The atmosphere at the arena was quite tame, possibly leading to the uneven performance.
