That "hook" guy growing up schooling Gary Payton and Jason Kidd definitely deserves some mention.

If we're talking about more or less recent players, it's easily Dejan Bodiroga.

More than likely, Len would have continued his drug habits and wasted his potential if he lived.

Re: the greatest player NOT to play in the nba
Easy Question (and there really is no other answer that is valid)
Earl "The Goat" Manigault
The streetball legend was just 6'2", but he would grab dollars and quarters off of the top of the backboard. He once reverse dunked 36 times in a row to win a $60 bet. It is rumored that he had a 52-inch vertical leap. He was also a deadly long range shooter.
When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar got his number retired at the Forum, he was asked who the greatest player he ever played against was. His reply? Earl "The Goat" Manigault.
