Before Tayshaun Prince became a legend at the University of Kentucky, he grew up a skinny kid from Compton, California. Decades later, he’s being recognized by his home as one of the greatest hoopers to ever come through the area.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Prince has been selected for the 2022 Southern California Basketball Hall of Fame (SCBBHOF), joining an impressive group of 16 inductees headlined by the likes of Paul Pierce, Jay Bilas, Michael Cooper, Andre Miller, and several others. The 41-year-old former Wildcat is currently the Vice-President of Basketball Affairs for the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies.
