Random fact Danny Ainge

Random Fact: Danny Ainge is the only person to be a high school first team All-American in football, basketball, and baseball. He played in MLB with Toronto Blue Jays. But you imagine an aussie kid at high school being in Australian schoolboys for Cricket/Rugby union/and basketball, that's Danny Ainge for ya. He was a good ball player for Celtics and Suns.
High School sports star that's for sure!

Thanks Matt. He was also once on the channel 10 show called the panel. Him and santo had some great back and forth banter.

If you think that is amazing I think you should look up Charlie ward. Played in the NBA for about 10 seasons, won the heisman trophy in college for best college football player and got drafted by MLB. He was also a very good tennis player.

Have a look at the clip of Danny just throwing a fastball with the basketball into the face of some player when he was inbounding the ball from the baseline. Brilliant clip.

Allen Iverson's highschool football coach insisted as good as Iverson was at basketball he was better at American football. Seems to let on that Iverson could have played NFL if he wanted too.
