Stanley Johnson went 135-5 at Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif., won four consecutive state titles, multiple gold medals for USA basketball's youth squads and has tremendous trash-talking ability.
But he isn't even the best player in his family. That honor belongs to his mother, Karen Taylor.
She lets him know it, too.
Taylor played basketball at Jackson State, where she was enshrined into the school's Hall of Fame in 2009, as well as professionally in Denmark, Italy and Sweden. She also coached her son until he was 14 and is just as responsible for his toughness and development as the coaches at Mater Dei and Sean Miller at Arizona.
