that is hard, because I use to play pickup ball with a lot of former UC & Xavier players that went to the NBA...Brian Grant or Nick Van Exel would probably be the best of the best

Cats are back, I played against Steph curry as well, when he was at Charlotte Christian, he was not near the guy he is now
I played against Ty Lawson and Kevin Durant, when we played at Oak Hill academy, that was pretty incredible...
Doneal Mack was a team-mate of mine in High School, he went on to play for Coach Cal at Memphis, and play in the national championship.

Growing up, my family lived on the same street as the Mills' family. There were many pickup games and HORSE games at the neighborhood park with Cameron and Collier from middle school through high school. I stunk at basketball but it always fun,
I lived outside Detroit right after college. Played pickup ball at what was called Oakland Community College (I think it's Oakland University now). Lots of Pistons used to show up there. Rick Mahorn, Dennis Rodman, Laimbeer a few times, Vinnie Johnson, Joe Dumars, etc. But Isiah Thomas was never there when I was.
The big guys basically always stayed outside and took jump shots. They didn't want to get inside and battle anyone so they could avoid injuries. Occasionally they played against each other and then they would go at it a little more.
FYI...Dennis Rodman when he was there was very personable and liked to talk trash, but he was nothing like what he became later on.

I think I have you all beat. I played a pickup game against Oscar Robertson at the Fenwick Club in Cincinnati his rookie year with the Royals.
Cliff Rozier at a summer camp. Tried to take a charge and he posterized me spread eagle over my head.
In the summer of 1975 Ron King played ball at a little court across from the Frito Lay plant in Louisville. I lived in an apartment right beside this court. While I wasn't a very good athlete, I do like to play. He blocked most of my shots and would just jump right over me for rebounds. I guess he had to be the best I ever played against/with as he was the only player of note that I was ever in a game with.

Bill Sharman
He married my best friend's sister. Not too many years ago, I asked him for a one on one pickup game. Despite a HUGE difference in ages, he took me to the cleaners.

Michael Redd and Esteban Weaver in the Worthington Summer League in Columbus OH. I know I can speak for my son who played against LeBron last summer up at the Univ of Akron and Andrew Wiggins in high school.
Dale Ellis and a guy who truly morphed his game once he left college. Played against him in college and he stood over everyone like Chris Webber used to.
He was a straight low post player through college and even guarded Sampson and Bowie.
One of the greatest 3 point shooters in NBA history...incredible to see.
