Played one season of high school basketball in the United States (1997-98 season) for Bishop McGuiness of Winston-Salem, N.C.
Transferred to St. Mary's High School of Akron, Ohio, for 1998-99 academic year, but was prohibited from playing that season due to state high school rules in Ohio that prevent foreign transfers from playing in their second seasons.

Tony Parker
St. V-M grads to be reunited
James and Lithuanian competed against each other in open gyms

ATHENS, GREECE - LeBron James won't be the only St. Vincent-St. Mary graduate who steps on the court today when the U.S. Olympic basketball team faces Lithuania.
Robertas Javtokas, who jokingly insists he's the reason James chose St. V-M, will be in the lineup for undefeated Lithuania.
While James' inclusion in the Olympics is no surprise, Javtokas' basketball future was in doubt two years ago when he broke his leg in a motorcycle accident in his native Lithuania.
``I'm so happy he is back playing the game,'' James said. ``He is a great guy and a good talent.''
A former second-round pick of the San Antonio Spurs, the 6-foot-11 forward is coming off the bench for Lithuania. He scored 11 points Thursday night in a 98-76 victory over Greece.
The game will be of vital interest to Bob and Becky Kelly, who sponsored Javtokas and fellow Lithuanian Donatas Zauackas. Each attended St. V-M in the 1998-99 school year.
``Robertas thinks they will give the U.S. a run,'' said Bob Kelly, who's had 12 international exchange students in his and his wife's Granger Township home. ``He thinks they can compete for the gold medal.''
While the Americans have struggled to a 2-1 record with an opening-game loss to Puerto Rico, the Lithuanians have jumped to a 3-0 start.
``I don't know much about them, but I know they are one of the better teams here,'' James said.
The Cavaliers' star can vouch for Javtokas' character.
Ruled ineligible to play by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, both Lithuanians continued to faithfully practice. James competed against Javtokas in open gyms and recognized his talent.
``Robertas used to tell LeBron that he was the reason LeBron picked St. V's,'' Kelly said.
The Lithuanians earned college scholarships, Javtokas to Arizona and Zauackas to the University of Pittsburgh. Javtokas played one season before beginning his professional career at home. Zauackas also is playing in Europe.
Javtokas' rapid improvement got him drafted, but the 2002 motorcycle accident jeopardized his career. A truck driver who did not see Javtokas turned left into him. The force of the collision sent him flying several dozen yards.
He diligently rehabbed the injury and returned to the game. He has been a key contributor to his club team, Lietuvos Rytas, the past two seasons.
The 24-year-old is honored to be part of the national team, Kelly said.
``I'm looking forward to it,'' James said. ``It's always great to play for your country, and we both know that feeling.''
No, not Tony Parker. The Current NBA player whose father was drafted by the Chapparals (early 70s) currently plays in the Western Conference and he's a 2/3.
Dunleavy?
Wally's dad, IIRC.
Correct - Walt Szczerbiak
Who were the only 2 Spurs to not score for the team?
Okay new questions:
David Robinson was thrown out of a game once for supposedly throwing a punch. Name the player that he supposedly tried to punch.
Hint 1. It was a former Spur.
Hint 2. The NBA was using replacement refs at the time.
In 91, Robinson popped Harvey Grant in the head.
I'm looking for someone else.
Dennis Rodman?
Was it one of the Chrises?
Childs
Whitney?
None of those three.
Hint 3. It was against the Sonics.
The Daniels of Antonio?
Think pre Duncan.
I was around for much pre Duncan.
Dex == baby.
TC?
Ale Ellis is the only Sonic I can think of that was a Spur.
Still lookin for a couple no-shows, people.
Manu20 was a little boy in the Pre-Duncan Era.
SPARKY has a question which will make you crap your pants and curse him.
Only one player in Spurs history had a last name which started with the letter Z.
Who is he?
Paspaii, Zarko
last name
