Burned by The Fire: The Story of Sebastian Telfair

A year after Lebron James became the "next high school phenom" in the NBA, Sebastian Telfair was drafted 13th overall by the Portland Trail Blazers. At just six feet tall, the electric high school point guard from Brooklyn, NY made his mark with his blinding quickness and agility, with And 1 type handles and highlight reel passing ability. Much like King James, Telfair appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated in his Abraham Lincoln High School uniform under the title "Watch Me Now" with the subtitle reading "Can a 6 foot high school point guard make the leap to the NBA? Yes he can."
