Reason #99: Work-A-Holic

When it comes to the game of basketball this man is never satisfied. He is always striving to get better. At the tender age of 15 he was at North College Hill's gym with his godfather Dwyane Bairnes, working on his jumper and all assets of his game. One story i read at the age of 14, while Mayo was practicing in a gym. A few janitors walk by and said " You know they say he going to be famous one of these days" and continued on sweeping the floor.

Mayo before his rookie season during the summer. He went to Chicago to workout with Dwayne Wade, and Tim Grover to get ready for his rookie year. After his Rookie Year was done, Mayo kept working. He went right back to USC, and started working with their coaches, concentrating on ball handling and his PG abilities/skills since if you haven't heard Mayo is getting ready to make a transition to become a PG. Then Mayo flew back to Chicago to work with Devin Harris, Gilbert Arenas on PG drills. Also was trying to improve his strength working with Tim Grover again, who was the trainer for Michael Jordan. He is probably in the gym trying to improve, while become stronger he is that hard of a worker.

Reason #98: O.J.Mayo vs Dominguez (CA)

If there was a game outside all those state championships games he played in. I guarentee the most memoriable he would say was on December 2005. When Mayo's North College Hill HS (OH) traveled all the way to Compton to play Dominguez, with young trio of DeMar Derozan, Brandon Jennings, Jordan Hamilton. All of Compton's cats were talking shyt saying they were going to smash Mayo's North College Hill team, that he was overrated. Even the newspapers had North College Hill as the underdog. Dominguez was the #5 high school in the nation at the time.
Courtside tickets cost 50 dollars, 50 dollars just for a high school game.

Tip off: The game starts a player on Dominguez hits a 3. Then the worst thing happened next, Sophomore Brandon Jennings sticks a 3 pointer in Mayo's eye. Extends the lead to 6-2, then starts talking shyt. That was a bad decision, because it set Mayo off. North College Hill went on a 24-2 run. Dominguez went 8-30 on FG first half. 6 for 17 from the ft line.
It was Mayo's game, he dropped 29 points, but when he scored he made the crowd know he scored. Including dunking on a guy. NCH won 91-57 and he showed LA and the rest of the high school nation who was still the top dog. This game made me respect him so much. He showed fire when fire needed to be shown.

Highlights of that game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAdyefoownk 1:35 wow, i bet that guy had to leave the gym.
