In this photo taken in Chicago, on Tuesday, March 13, 2012, Simeon Career Academy's forward Jabari Parker muscles his way through a block out attempt by Evanston High School forward Matt Munro during an Illinois state basketball super-sectional game. Lola Parker, Jabari's mother, realized Jabari, had a special talent when he was in the second grade and going against fourth and fifth-graders in his father's league. She saw how advanced his footwork was, and she told her husband that their son needed to be challenged, even if that meant taking a beating against the older kids. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
