Also, Jim Hines.

Russell first NBA AA coach. Robinson first MLB AA manager.

Other Bay Area HS with great sports legacy is Serra: Bonds, Brady, Swann. Greg Jeffries. Maybe not the depth of McClymonds. But still....

Looked like about 500’. He played in the same OF with Vada Pinson and on rec teams with Curt Flood. A great athletic legacy including Bill Russell, Paul Silas, Joe Ellis and the Pointer Brothers (and sisters).
