I used to watch St. Anthony at tournament in Trenton just to watch coach Hurley in action. I don’t care what other coaches records are, he’s the greatest HS coach ever. You could hear his voice in a crowd of thousands. every time a player made a mistake he’d get pulled and coach Hurley would correct the player on the spot. the team played as one, swarming defense and effortless and instant transition to a fast break offense. so well coached.

Damn Kobe

The #33 on white looks like he could be something special. Anyone know if he kept playing post-high school? 😁

I heard he made the crazy decision to skip college and go straight to the NBA. I heard he played a few seasons for the Lakers, but other than that, I didn't hear too much about what became of him.
