I know someone who played with Ray Allen in a basketball documentary, can't remember what it was called though.

Marshon Brooks -- he was one of the instructors at a basketball camp I went to a few years ago.
Chris Duhon -- practiced with him for a little while once.
Two soon to be NBA players in HS - Kevin Jones and Sean Kilpatrick (Mookie Jones for Syracuse, too, but he's not going to the NBA).

Re: anyone ever play against an nba player?
I went to a basketball camp, I don't know, like 25 years ago (yep, I'm old). Northern California. One of Rick Barry's kids (Scooter -- who did not make the NBA) was one of the counselors.
Anyways, I got to play against some former NBA guy. No idea what his name was. Probably around 40 or so, 6' 6" or so. We played one on one to 5 points. I scored the first point, he scored the next five.
I got to meet Ron Harper, Danny Manning and some other player in Indianapolis. They were playing for the Clippers, it was like 1993 or so. They were scrimmaging and lifting weights in the same gym I was lifting weights in. Good guys.

Re: anyone ever play against an nba player?
I played against Dwight Howard and Javaris Crittenton before. They played on the same team and ended up getting matched up with my high school in a summer tourney called Team Camp USA in Tallahassee, FL. Javaris was going into his sophomore year and Dwight was going into his senior year. My school was pretty bad so I think Dwight was holding back... Javaris had the ball in his hands most of the time and was unguardable. At the time we had no idea who Dwight was, and when we drove back home from the tourney we googled "SACA" (his school) and then found out Dwight was the #1 ranked player in the country 
None of the players I've played against locally during the regular high school basketball season went to the NBA. Quite a few played D-1 ball, and some were invited to pre-draft workouts/NBA Summer League but I don't think any made an actual roster. The best out of those is probably Raymond Sykes in the D-League now.
