Brian Leach, Simeon High School
“The Pro-Am was the signature summer basketball event in the 1980s and '90s. In 1992, Leach, a local playground legend from Simeon, and Carver alum and Golden State Warriors All-Star Tim Hardaway went at it. Both were in a zone, and when the final buzzer sounded, Hardaway had 72 points and Leach 73, according to the player's retelling for Slam Magazine. Although Leach's team lost the game, it didn't matter. Everybody who was there to witness the showdown won that day.”
