Sports Illustrated proclaims Simeon junior Jabari Parker “the best high school basketball player since LeBron James” on the cover of its current issue.
That’s typical glossy-magazine hype, especially in an era when Time puts a breastfeeding woman on its cover, and Newsweek‘s labels Barack Obama “the first gay president.”
Even so, it does set off the BS detector, as I seem to recall a certain pretty good player, also at Simeon, named Derrick Rose in between Parker and James.
