High schools with multiple players in the 2015 NBA Playoffs
Photos by MaxPreps photographers/Graphic by Ryan EscobarIt's that time. The NBA Playoffs are here.
For 16 teams, the next week will be a knock-down-drag-out brawl to try to get to the second round. It usually helps to envision your opponent as the enemy, but that might be difficult for several of this year's players.
The following is a list of high schools with multiple players in the NBA Playoffs. Some share the bond of sharing an alma mater, while others were even teammates.
Something tells me it's not going to make a difference once the games start.
*Players listed more than once attended multiple high schools
