Question
I had a hard time believing what I read on the Ainge site, "Talented in multiple sports, Ainge starred in high school on a football team that also included another future NBA star, Joe Dumars, and led North Eugene High School to back-to-back state basketball championships in 1976-77, earning all-state honors both years. He also was named to the 1977 Parade magazine High School All-America team." since Dumars grew up in Louisiana, I thought.

Was it Dumars or did Ainge play with or against someone famous in High School??

Answer
I done a little reasearch and found out that Dumars went to Nachitoches Central High School in Nachitoches, LA.  It would bbe hard for him to play against Ainge when Ainge played in Oregon.  I think it may have been someone else, but I cannot find out who it was, but is was NOT Joe Dumars.
