Parker also sings LeBron James’ praises. A member of the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2002-03 NBA season, Parker did check out some of James’ games during his senior year of high school at Akron, Ohio St. Vincent – St. Mary High School. “He was a freak of nature,” said Parker. “For a high school kid, I’ve never seen anyone that agile, [pause] that big, a freak of nature; head above the rim on all his dunks and he was just physically gifted and I have not seen anyone like that… No, I’m lying. I did see somebody just like that in high school and his name was Michael Beasley. Michael Beasley was just like LeBron James in high school. I do wanna shout out Mike Beasley but we’re talking about LeBron James right now…. When I first saw LeBron James I was just like, He’s different. There’s no way he’s not going to be great or turn out to be a great player.” -via ScoopB.com / October 8, 2024
