Who is the best player you as a player have ever went up against?
Mine would be PJ Hairston this prior AAU season, he played for CP3 All Stars who by the way killed my team and they actually ended the game early, anyway he is a top 35 player on ESPN, ranked #31 overall, he is a 6’6 SG who has a great handle, terrific outside shot, kinda selfish though but he at least dropped 30 on my team, I guarded him for about half the game (I played up for this tournament wasn’t even my age group) and he could not be stopped, he dunked it, pulled up from three, crossover, pull up jumper, you name it he pretty much did it, very versatile player but he did not post me up nor any of my teammates, probably wasn’t part of his team’s system but he is a great player, going to play for North Carolina for the 2011-2012 season.

Javaris Crittenton and Lance Storrs I would say.

Crittenton always played at a place in Atlanta called Run ‘N Shoot, and he’s extremely fast and athletic on top of being extremely strong and tall. And he throws dimes in a pickup game setting like that. Him being like 6’5 allowed him to play his natural PG spot and every other position on the floor. He held back a little, but he was still dominant LOL (as you would expect).

Lance Storrs also plays at the same place. He sucks for GT and the people always talk sh*t about him because of it LMAO, but the guy has a crazily nice jump shot. He won’t miss when left open

i played against him in high school during summer league. the guy came down on one trip and threw a full court no look pass, next trip he dunked w/ two hands, then he came down again, crossed over the best player on the team and hit a three on the helpside man. he was only a junior at the time.

I’ve said this before, but one day at my rec center, Gheorge Muresan from the Bullets shows up to do a clinic with kids and a group of some older kids halfheartedly ask him to play in a pickup game with them. Well, I guess he didn’t understand that he was supposed to go easy, because on the first possesion, he dunked on this kid who was about 5’9. He seemed to be taking the game very seriously for some reason….

I’ve also played against current Ilinois power forward Mike Davis. He was pretty good in high school I guess, but was really raw, too. Him being 6’9 in a public school setting meant the only way he had to score was dunk the ball.

Darrell Armstrong. I was visiting my grandparents in Dallas about 6 years ago and I went to go play some pick up at an outdoor court. He was there and asked me to play one on one. He ended up winning 3 outta our 4 games. He was super quick even at an older age!

alec burks sg for colorado in a fall league before his senior year ,, trevor relaford pg for alabama he is a wizard with the basketball

[the I in winParticipant]

Othello Hunter, he is much bigger in person.

[Raef LaFrentzParticipant]

Mark Madsen.

I was just hangin’ out at the Target Center (my girlfriend is a dancer on their dance team) and good old “Mad Dog” Mark Madsen invited me onto the court to play some ball with him.

He’s the only NBA player I’ve played against, so I guess that makes him the best player I’ve played against.

PS- Mark Madsen really sucks at basketball. Nice guy though.

Keith Langford in a pickup game at the KU Rec, I didn’t guard him, but I tipped one of his passes, lol
I also played Dennis Lattimore of Arizona and Notre Dame in AAU, he killed us there were 6’7 and 6’9 guys in our league but they were stiffs, Lattimore was athletic and probably had 4 dunks in the post. I think we lost by 40

Hilton Armstrong when he played at Peekskill

and

Ben Gordon when he played at Mount Vernon

Korie Lucious at Marquette Summer Camp and Jamil Wilson in state tournament senior year

The best player that I have played against is Joel Przybilla ( who plays for the Portland Trailblazers). He is the brother of one of my best friends, Matt. We used to play ball all the time growing up.
In several different summer basketball camps I have also played briefly with Mark Madsen and Trent Tucker..

[bobforteParticipant]

Adam Morrison, Martell Webster, Terrence Williams. Played with Josh Heytvelt Hawes and Brockman.

[ChewyParticipant]

Howard/J. Smith/Morris for Atlanta Celtics. They played volleyball with our shots.

Shannon Brown, played him when we both were Illinois Warriors, him being a yr older and our high school teams played each other in summer leagues (no dee brown though)

Colin Falls, not a huge name considering he was a solid but not spectacular player for UND. He was really hard to guard because you could not give him 6 inches with his shot.

Brian Randle (He literally “threw” my 15 ft jumpshot into the 15th row of the stands haha)

Shaun Livingston

A few others over 5-6 yrs of AAU ball

[SubZeroParticipant]

I go to a private school in Mississippi so I don’t have a chance to play anyone lol I tried to find an AAU team but there’s not one around. We tried to start one, but my current high school coach was the coach and he SUCKS. Like really really bad. So we don’t have an AAU team anymore lol
