CP3 in HS: Dropped 61 the day after his 61 y/o grandfather was murdered
Despite Paul's previous career high being 39 points, by halftime, he had racked up 32 points in 16 minutes. When Paul reached the 61-point mark late in the 4th quarter, he purposely airballed a free throw, then took himself out of the game to hug his family on the sidelines, even though the state high school scoring record of 66 points was well within reach.

Not that this is completely trustworthy, but I don't see a 66 point game here.

Lol I've known this since he was at Wake Forest. I was expecting a bunch of photos of old newspapers in this thread.

Lol, posting this old stuff. Come on man.
Anyway, yeah, much respect to CP3.
However, he took a page from Kobe ball hogging like that.

I remember Sportscenter running this story back when he was at Wake Forest. In the face of tragedy, it's a pretty cool story.
