Never played with or against anybody while they were active but before they went pro:
Against: Derrick Phelps. UNC guard. I think he made it to the league temporarily? Used to be ranked #2 behind Kenny Anderson in NYC in HS but ended up not really shyt. Played against him at BBall camp. I was a nobody who knew somebody that got me in the camp. He was all everything and the entire staff was on his dikk. Had a highlight on him that got extra "oohs" cuz of "who I wasn't". He tried to strip me but I brought the ball up over his head and split him and another defender and tear dropped over some other CTK stiff.
Khalid Reeves: Phelps backcourt mate at CTK and Arizona guard. Played for the Heat.
With: Jamal Mashburn. My teammate at camp. Mufukka was like 6'7 at 13. Coach wanted every play to go to Mash. Can't front, I used to hate a lil bit. Mash was my boy but me & coach used to but heads. I was PG and like "Damn every play we gotta do high stack for Jamal??"
Charles Jones: Led NCAA in scoring 2 years in a row at LIU and had stints with the Bulls and Clippers. My dude from round the way.
Shot around with Mark Jackson and Escalade in Queens. Once the older bigger dudes came, me, my brother, and Escalade had to get off the court. Esc was still huge for his age at the time.
I know I'm forgetting people but as you can see from the names I'm dropping I'm somewhat of an old head lol.

i hooped against will barton and adonis thomas last fall on a 5 on 5 pickup game in our rec center . .. I'm 6'3 so they matched me up with the thrill
listen to me very carefully
that boy dropped 8 of the teams 15 points on me
and this is still a college nikka.. c-usa player of the year but still. we in a crowded gym and this nikka is hitting pull up's from nba range. driving and hitting them d-rose layups. booming. n
adonis thomas was only a freshman at the time but dude was looking like rookie LBJ out there. he had 5 points just jumping over the nikkas on my team..dude is def gonna leave memphis after this year and be a top 5 pick.
other than that i used to see josh childress at LA fitness here in atlanta but he would never hoop when i was there.. just keep his bytch ass on the treadmill

Went to Blue Edwards' basketball camp in summer '93 when I was 10.

You ever play at East Roswell Rec? It's this spot in the cut behind some mini mansions in the suburbs outside of ATL...Its a diamond in the rough because a bunch of former NBA players live around there and you can just go on a Saturday morning and get a run with Kevin Willis, Travis Best, Nick Anderson and Brian Oliver...
Reading these stories hits me with the 
whenever I think about how I'd match up against these dudes, only thing I can really do is shoot well and pass
