Ill never forget spring of 05 this AAU team ask my hs coach n uncle to play with them at the Houston hoops tournament (legendary annual AAU event in Houston with every d1 coach n scout in attendance you bound to get an offer if u out up atleast 15 pts) it was right after the Illinois State championship I think. I had a very good yr my soph yr I was top 10 in state but didn't crack top 100 yet because I didn't go to abcd or Nike camp yet. The aau coach picked me up n the rest of the Chicago players and we all had to meet at O'Hare airport. So I'm chilling on my mp3 player n my unc walks up to me with a tall thick ass woman I'm like
