The problem with this list is that it is skewed based on the availability of information and video on these players today. I mean, we watched Lebron in highschool on ESPN. To compare, when Larry Bird played in the national title game in 1979, it was the first time most of the country had even seen him, and thatwas his last year in COLLEGE. And then there's the whole "oh man, if 'player x' hadn't been a bum and gotten into drugs, gangs, etc."aspect, where we romanticize the abilities of players that fizzled out, which means this list is based on achievements after high school, rather than just highschool stats, because nobody's putting some no-name bum on this list who didn't do jack after high school.
