    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Bulls and Pistons are often made out to be enemies, but Bulls center Tyson Chandler goes back a long way with one prominent Piston.

    Tayshaun Prince was a senior at Dominguez High School in Compton, Calif., when Chandler was a hyped freshman, fresh off being featured on ?60 Minutes.?

    ?I think everybody that comes from that school is real close, no matter the circumstances,? Chandler said. ?He taught me a lot, led by example. We definitely kept in touch afterwards.?

    Asked what he remembered most about Chandler as a high school freshman, Prince talked about how the 7-foot-1 center?s game has changed.

    ?He?s definitely a total different basketball player now than he was back then,? said Prince, who spent four years in college at Kentucky. ?His team over there is a perimeter-oriented team. He pretty much just tries to set a tone defensively of blocking shots and rebounding.

    ?In high school, he was a scorer. He could score 15 feet and in. His confidence was sky high. Always ran the floor like a deer. I think his confidence has kind of gotten taken away a little bit and he?s got to find a way to get it back.?</div>

    I didn't know that until I read the newspaper during school today. Interesting.
