    Anyone remember Ronnie Fields? He was Kevin Garnetts HS teammate at Farragut HS..Fields had a 48 inch vert, and was recognized as one of the best dunkers to ever hit the HS circuit..<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>His senior numbers at Farragut were as sensational as his slams. He averaged 32.4 points, 12.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 4.5 blocked shots, four steals and 4.5 dunks.</div> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>When he finished his career, he was third all time in Chicago Public League history with 2,619 points. In his senior year, Fields had nine games of 40 or more points and a high of 51.</div> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Fields and Kevin Garnett were teammates, and it was supposed to be a matter of time before the two friends were in the NBA together. Garnett made it, but Fields, who committed to DePaul, didn't qualify for college academically. Then he was in a serious car accident late in his senior season and injured his neck.</div> http://www.usatoday.com/sports/preps/baske...fields.htm#moreThe guy would've been amazing..

    Never heard of him. Too bad he had that car crash though. With those numbers, Im guessing he would have been a first round pick in the NBA...

    Holy sh*t, those are some nice dunks. He seems to be a pretty good defensive stopper too. There were a few highlights of him getting blocks there. Anyone know how tall the guy is?
