When Cummings began high school at Harlan, on Chicago's South Side, basketball wasn't in his plans. Then, according to the two-time NBA All-Star, he shot up in height from 5-8 to 6-4.
Mar 9, 2023 · “The greatest Illinois high school player I ever saw in person was (Chicago King’s) JAMIE BRANDON. It was the city championship game against Westinghouse during the ’89-90 season.

This game might have the most athletic talent on one court in the IHSA archives, featuring a matchup of future Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett and NBA mainstay Melvin Ely at center. (Farragut paired Garnett with high-school legend Ronnie Fields, whose path to the NBA was derailed, but put together a career in the CBA and overseas.) Thornton assembled a...
The most points ever scored in a Class AA tournament; the most points ever in a Class AA championship game; and a one-man show from Marcus Liberty, who would go on to play with Nick Anderson (from Simeon), Kendall Gill (from Rich Central in Olympia Fields), and Kenny Battle (Aurora West) on the 1988-1989 Flying Illini. (The only other player on Kin...

Westinghouse, alma mater of Eddie Johnson and Hersey Hawkins, wins its first state championship in school history, surviving a 17-point comeback engineered by one of the all-time great athletes to play basketball in the state, Andre Iguodala, who may pick up a championship ring this season for the Golden State Warriors.
The second-to-last game in the life of Benji Wilson, who was killed just before his senior season at Simeon—for which he was considered the preseason number-one player in the nation. (Had Wilson lived, it's possible he could have played with Kenny Battle, Aurora West's star, on the Flying Illini.) Instead, Nick Anderson, Juwan Howard, Derrick Rose,...

They won 31 consecutive games before bowing to Mount Vernon 76-70 in the 1954 Illinois State Championship game. DuSable pioneered the fast break, full court pressure, and pro socks in Illinois basketball history. This team was the first Chicago team ever to compete in the Illinois State Championship Game. The Panthers opened the door and paved ...
