Sterling Brown hoopin' against Jabari Parker

[SMU 86]

Video was so good that I just thought it deserved a thread of it's own.

Interesting comment about the game.

#1 Chicago Simeon (33-1) and #2 Proviso East (32-1) battled for the Illinois Class 4A state championship at Peoria's Carver Arena in the matchup that hoops fans had been anticipating all season. Proviso East's 6'5 junior Sterling Brown (brother of Suns' Shannon Brown) gave 6'8 Simeon junior star Jabari Parker all he could handle, but Parker's Simeon teammates were there to pick him up when it counted most. Parker scored 15 pts and senior Steve Taylor (Marquette) had 12 pts + 17 rebounds in Simeon's third straight Class 4A title with a 50-48 victory. Parker has one more than the Bulls' Derrick Rose with one season to go. The win gave Simeon their 6th state championship (IL record) and #5 for Simeon coach Robert Smith (IL record). This game was tied at the half. Sterling Brown scored 10 of his 25 pts in the 3rd quarter to give Proviso East a 39-34 lead with 8 minutes to play. But in the 4th, an 8-0 run gave Simeon a 45-41 lead with 3:05 left. Simeon extended the lead on a vicious dunk by Parker with 12 secs left before Brown hit a 3-pointer with seconds remaining.

The top players out of illinois always seem to be hard nosed on D, have "that" attitude and want the ball at the end of the game to take you out. Those are all traits we could use. Will be really fun to watch.

Sterling Brown is taking the number 1 ranked high school player in the country (J. Parker) that is headed to Duke to the rack and all you can say is that the long sleeve jerseys are hideous. SMH.

Brown looks like a hell of a player. Can't wait to watch him

I was blinded by them... But I think you are mistaken. Andrew Wiggins going to Kansas was the number 1 ranked high school player and most likely the 2014 #1 pick in the NBA draft.

I am excited to have Sterling on campus.

When that game was played, Parker was the #1 player. Wiggins reclassified far later.

So I'm going to go ahead and say Sterling is the reason for Parker's drop in ranking.

Just sounded like something a girlfriend of mine said one time when we were watching a football game. It was a good game and all she noticed was that one teams uniform was not very good looking. Some women. SMH.
