I only definitely recognize one of those people and I think the guy in the Carolina is jersey is Kobe. The rest, I have no idea. I didn't realize how little I watch sports anymore.

You know them, just think of the last superstar players who skipped college

LeBron James, Kobe Bryant
Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady

Young versions
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

The only one I didn't recognize at first was Dwight Howard. All of them should be wearing UNC jerseys though.

I guess it doesn't count but Dirk Nowitzki would have played for UK if he had the chance

Since I always lose badly anyway I just said screw it and did a bracket based on cumulative stats where I ended up with a few upsets and still ended up 1's and 2's in the final four.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Nope, UNC would have had Nowitzki, too, thanks to Henrik Rodl.

He's lying. Henrik promised him to UNC. You could look it up.

Actually, the only guy who really did say he would have gone to UNC is Dwight Howard. I always heard that Garnett was going to UNC because Shammond Williams is his cousin. I always heard Kobe was going to Duke, not UNC. There was speculation about LeBron going to UNC because he liked Jordan but that was always a moot point.

I do remember Hedge's brother telling me about this German guy named Nowitzki that Henrik Rodl was supposed to deliver to UNC but I'd never heard of Nowitzki at that point. A short while later, everyone knew about him. I had seen that story on him going to Kentucky before.

Kobe wanted to play for K. Garnett wanted to play for Kentucky but he would have been Prop 48, so he went pro. LeBron was a good money OSU bet...that is the football team he loves. The rest idk about.

Kentucky with KG and McGrady (KG a Junior and TMac a freshman, I think) would have been a problem. Even Tubby's kid couldn't have ruined that squad.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

Wait, Tubby was the UK coach when Garnett came out. I don't think anybody wanted to play for Kentucky then.

Nevermind, Garnett came out in '95. I knew it was one of the years UNC went to the FF but thought it was '98.

This story says he would have gone to Maryland. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/balt ... story.html
