What if former Alabama WR, Julio Jones chose basketball for his career?

He was so talented in high school that he juggled multiple sports.

We all know Julio Jones as a national champion, the face of the Atlanta Falcons and one of the National Football League’s headlines names, in terms of the gridiron. However, he was also a human highlight on the hardwood at Foley (Ala.) High School in basketball. As a five-star athlete, Jones shared the coastal hype with another star who fulfilled his dream on the court.

Prior to attending the University of Kentucky and getting drafted to the National Basketball Association, DeMarcus “Boogie” Cousins was a superstar at LeFlore High School in Mobile, Ala.
