I was referring to a different family involving NDHS and Stanford, but, yes, I played basketball against the 15 year old Jack McDowell, and was absolutely destroyed trying to guard him.

Without mentioning their name, you wrote the following paragraph over at Blogspot 10 years ago and I had always assumed it was about the McDowells:
A problem that most black and many white pro athletes have is that they typically don’t have any nuclear family members that they can (reasonably) trust to manage their money for them. In contrast, a high school friend of mine, whose father was a respected lawyer, became a CPA. One of his younger brothers grew up to be a star baseball player who graduated from Stanford and then made about $20 million in salary in the 1990s. With his brother managing his money and his father available for advice on legal matters, the ballplayer did fine. But the number of parasites lurking around jocks is legion.
