Remember this name. OJ Mayo. Yes, I am sure you have heard about Greg Oden, the 17 year old from Indianapolis who is not only rated as the best high school basketball in the country, but as the savior to the Ohio St basketball program, and eventually, the next great big man on a long list that just recently added the likes of Shaquille, Patrick Ewing, and Hakeem. Some say Oden is a poor man’s Bill Russell, which if right Mr Oden wont be poor for very long as Russell has won 9 championship rings and is widely considered the best all time center.

OJ Mayo is a year below Oden, and hails from the Midwest also. He grew up in the streets of Cincy, and Mayo is a do it point guard that sometimes looks more than Jason Kidd without the kid part. OJ is mature looking, makes incredible heady decisions for a 17 year old with the world on his shoulders, and off the court, dude is a cool. Right now, OJ Mayo is the hottest prospect in high school basketball, and whatever school is lucky enough to grace his presence will be the Final Four in the near future.

Mayo’s high school teammate, Bill Walker, is another star, and one rumor is the two of them may attend college together. Imagine a high school tam with the 2 of the top 3 players in the country running on the team, its impossible to lose. Walker is an athletic leaper, a Larry Nance clone(for all you pre-Lebron Cavs fans), and will one day be a big time pro. His game is the prefect compliment to the pass first Mayo, who can score whenever he wants, but loves to set up his teammates and really loves to set up Walker.

OJ Mayo has the chance to be the next Lebron James, the way guys like Kobe, D Wade, and Vince Carter had the chance to be the next MJ. The endorsements will come if Mayo continues to excel on and off the court, especially with the cant miss talent he struts around with……..and before all of our very own eyes, the name OJ Mayo will become a household name for the next 25 years of our pop culture.
