I already knew about Chris Webber--On November 2, Detroit Country Day School retired NBA star and DCDS alum Chris Webber's basketball number, 44-- but just today learned that Shane Battier is a fellow alum. Robin Williams and Courtney Vance, of movie and TV fame, were also DCDS students.
I wonder if these guys brag to their friends that Phillip Class of '79 went to their high school?

NBA Houston Rockets play Shane Battier '97 was the runner-up for the NBA's 2007 Sportsmanship Award. Chicago Bull's forward Luol Deng received the award with only 22 more votes than Battier.
The NBA's annual Sportsmanship Award honors the player who best exemplifies ethical behavior, fair play and integrity on the court.
As the runner-up, the NBA donated $10,000 on Battier's behalf to his chosen charity, the Boy's and Girl's Club of Houston.
