    Off the top of my head, here is a list.

    Kenny Anderson - first real HS superstar I can remember; in Sports Illustrated at age 14. Solid NBA player.

    Shaquille O'Neal - went to college, one of the 5 greatest centers of all-time.

    Kevin Garnett - took a year or two; Top 50 NBA all-time.

    Kobe Bryant - drafted late, but well-known in hs

    Amare Stoudemire - All-Star and All-NBA player

    Dwight Howard - better than I thought he'd be as a pro; the most dominant player in the game when you combine both ends of the court

    LeBron James - yeah

    Sebastian Telfair - all NYC hype

    There are many others.

    Pretty much every guy in the NBA was the best player on their high school and college teams.
