I met D. Stevenson with his family in Dec. 2014 at Disney World in Florida. He was so cool, he took pics with our family and my mother who had terminal cancer and passed away within a year later. He sat and talked with my mom and she hugged on him as if he was part of the family. He may not know how much she/we appreciated the time he took away from his family to hang with us. He's a real one! Much respect and I hope he and his family are well!!

It’s interesting that both him and Darius Miles were in the same draft straight out of high school and ended up being taken by teams in polar opposite directions.

Deshawn. I’ve went to 6-8 state champ in ca & several ca playoff games. Deshawn was the best I’ve seen along w Schea cotton. SG I think he growth was stunted meaning he didn’t meet expectations but I mean roy called him on DS wiki “the most talented recruit I’ve ever recruited”. That is saying a lot as he had PP & other talented guys he recruited. Deshawn took over that el Cerrito game & was semi shaking cocky as idk what after every crazy dunk. That 1 handed oop? 1 dribble thru lane smash? Got that game on vhs still to this day! Lol. Collector edition! Haha! Great game w 2 decade nba guys going toe to toe.
