Jacque Vaughn has known his No. 2, Kevin Ollie, for a while. In fact, they grew up in southern California and played for neighboring high schools as C.J. Holmes of the Daily News writes Monday.
“I’ve known this dude for a long time,” Vaughn said of Ollie. “He’s a couple of years older than me, but his high school was nine blocks from my high school. I played against him as a ninth grader.”
The two guards had similar careers as mostly backups in the NBA. Vaughn played 12 years in the NBA, making stops in five cities, a steady presence throughout who won a title in 2007 with the Spurs.
