I'm not familiar with the details of Ford's high school career but I do remember him being highly acclaimed, so I appreciate the info. I can't say for sure, but I feel like he made a few appearances in [i]Ball Above All[/i], throwing down some impressive contest dunks.

Maybe I'll see if I can dig them up to confirm.

I remember hearing about his spinal problems back when he was a Buck(first team). He's basically been dealing with a serious injury for much of his career.

I could see him being a good coach down the road.

ever since his collision with al forford (back in around 2008 i think) he has been playing against doctors orders. he was told that he should retire, but he got a few extra years in. hearing him talk about it, he seems thankful that he got to play as long as he did.
