Not me personally, but one of my roommates was a division I prospect, and went to camps with the NC boys (Marvin, Rashad, Ray Felton, etc.,). He's also played against Josh Childress in camps in HS. He didn't play further, however, but the dude is good. Now, we have him on our Intramural team.

We didnt exactly play basketball but i have played with Steve Nash in a pickup soccer game in NYc chinatown. The other team had nothing on him and he scored like 3 times and assisted on 5 of them.

This was in the Grand Street soccer field in chinatown. I also saw him 2 times in Tribeca this summer on his skateboard.

Louis Williams, Josh Smith, Dwight Howard, Randolph Morris, Mike Mercer, all the recent HS Georgia boys.. They all OWNED.

Louis was the most skilled of them all, but Dwight was just a complete BEAST in High School.

No NBA guys per se (well, I guess Bracey Wright), but I played against a bunch of the IU guys from the Mike Davis era: Marshall Strickland, AJ Moye, Jeff Newton, etc.

I looked up at one point and realized I was guarding Moye. I was 6 foot nothing, a hundred and nothing, and I'm guarding the littlest, toughest center to ever play at IU? That was ridiculous.

I haven't actually played against any players, but I've been there while a bunch of them played..living in NY, you'll see that every once in a while..a lot of them didn't have long careers in the NBA though..

it's unbelievable how good they are though..OMAR COOK was one of the best players I've ever seen in my life, and he did nothing in the NBA..the streets are different thant the courts too though, but regardless, he had MAD game..Homicide was a baller too, and he's overseas from what I hear..

Omar Cook isn't doing bad over at Red Star Belgrade. I caught a couple of Red Star games this year and from what I saw he was doing a solid job at the point.

Never played a current NBA player, but I did play against a Sacramento WNBA player at a random street court once. Me and a friend of mine were gonna play 2v2 vs some guy, and she came up and played him. She was actually pretty **** quick. It was actually the year right before the WNBA started, because she was telling us how excited she was.

....I think they won too. :oops:

Played several times with Boris Diaw, really a friendly guy, and man, he's talented..He threw some passes who were just wonderful.
One time he was with me, we were 3 on 2, he decided to go all lefty, he even shooted his shoots lefty, and damn, no one could stop him.That particuliar time was months before he was drafted.

When I was a Freshman in HS in Baldwin Park, CA, I played a pick up game against Keith Closs and he use to live in the same block as me.

Then in my sophomore year, we moved to Rowland Heights CA and I played a picked up game against Keith Van Horn at a park where he use to at all the time (Ronald Reagan in Diamond Bar).

BTW... OT: Does anyone know where I can watch the video where Keith Closs was getting jumped? LOL

Damn you guys are lucky, I haven't played bball against any NBA player. Hell I've only talked to three before, C. Mullin, M. Pietrus and Jim Barnett lol.

Lets see..

I shot around with the 2000 lakers before a practice/road game in Portland. WCF series.

Then me and Shaq's body guard ( Jerome - the guy you see sitting behind him in every game) and Kevin Fraiser ( former Fox broadcaster) played a pick up game with Shaq before Phil came to the gym.

and a former pick of Trailblazers- Reggie Smith and I used to play often in High School
