Sean Gregory May (born April 4, 1984) is an American professional basketball player currently playing for Sutor Basket Montegranaro in Italy. He was born in Chicago, Illinois and grew up in Bloomington, Indiana. He was a three-time all-state selection at Bloomington High School North, and was at one time a teammate of current NBA player Jared Jeffries. May was named to the 2002 McDonald's High School All-American team. He played in the 2002 McDonald's game with Raymond Felton and Rashad McCants, who would later team with May to win an NCAA Championship.
When the heavily-recruited May chose to attend North Carolina, it was a major surprise to most basketball recruiting observers; it had been thought that he would stay in his hometown and play for the Indiana University Hoosiers. He had strong family connections to IU; his father Scott was a forward on the school's undefeated 1975–76 NCAA championship team and won the Naismith Award the same year, and his brother Scott Jr. played for the Indiana basketball team that made the NCAA title game in 2002.
Kamaljit Singh Jhooti, better known by his stage name Jay Sean, is a British singer-songwriter, rapper, beatboxer and record producer. He debuted in the UK's Asian Underground scene as a member of the Rishi Rich Project with "Dance with You", which reached #12 on the UK Singles Chart in 2003. This led to him being signed to Virgin Records and having two UK top 10 hits as a solo artist in 2004: "Eyes On You" at #6 and "Stolen" at #4. They were included in his critically acclaimed debut album Me Against Myself which, though only moderately successful in the UK, sold more than two million copies across Asia and remains his most successful album to date. Alongside the Rishi Rich Project, Sean was a pioneer of Bhangra-R&B fusion, which his debut album helped popularize among the worldwide South Asian diaspora.
He eventually left Virgin in 2006 and founded his own independent label, Jayded Records. After a gap of nearly four years, he returned in 2008 with "Ride It", which reached #11 in the UK and topped the charts in several Eastern European countries, including Romania where it was one of the best-selling singles of the year. It was followed by hits such as "Maybe", which reached #7 on the Japan Hot 100, and "Tonight". They were included in his second album, My Own Way, which became his most successful album on the UK Albums Chart, reaching #6, and topped the UK R&B Chart. At around this time, he began increasingly incorporating electropop sounds into his R&B music.
Kennedy Winston (born July 29, 1984 in Prichard, Alabama) is an American professional basketball player. He is a former college basketball player with the University of Alabama. Kennedy left college one year early to pursue his dreams of playing in the NBA. He was not drafted by an NBA team in 2005, so he took his game overseas to Europe. He is known mainly for his high flying scoring and dunking.
He is a 6'6" (1.98 m) 230 lbs. (104 kg) small forward. He is currently playing for the Italian club Virtus Bologna.
He originally signed a letter of intent to play at the University of California, but decided he needed to be closer to his ill mother. After the University of California granted him his release, he signed with the University of Alabama. He was the top scorer with the University of Alabama's Crimson Tide for two seasons and he led the SEC conference in scoring in 2005, averaging 17.9 points per game. He was also a 2-time All-SEC first team player in both 2004 and 2005. He led his team to the NCAA tournament in both 2004 and 2005, advancing as far as the Elite Eight in one of the years.
Kendall Dewan Marshall (born August 19, 1991) is an American college basketball player for the University of North Carolina Tar Heels. He grew up in Dumfries, Virginia, and attended Bishop O'Connell High School in Arlington, Virginia. Marshall also attended Evangel Christian School and Rippon Middle school, where he scored at least 20 points per game. He has declared for the NBA draft, and will most likely be drafted in the top 15 picks.
Marshall led Bishop O'Connell to the 2010 Virginia Independent Schools Division I championship as a senior. He also led Bishop O'Connell to the semifinals of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference. He averaged 15.3 points, nine rebounds and six assists as a senior.
At the start of his freshman season at Carolina, Marshall provided more depth at the point guard position to relieve starting point guard Larry Drew II, as he got more used to the system at Carolina. However, after a disappointing showing at Georgia Tech in which the Tar Heels lost by twenty points, Roy Williams took the gamble and inserted Marshall into the starting lineup at a win vs Clemson. Soon Drew transferred and Marshall was able to take on the leadership role with poise as he dished out sixteen assists to three turnovers at a win over Florida State on February 6.

Felton played in the McDonald's All-American game with two future Tar Heel teammates, Sean May and Rashad McCants.
I'm a mess, I guess.
It's what I asked for, it's what I needed.
Well, you know me better than,
or at least you did then something happened.
But once again something's happened.
The confidence you held in us
the rope we almost hung ourselves with.
At times I wonder if we really took the steps
to break right through it.
I know that there were better days,
but to see the light and to feel the rays.
Life was always back and forth
and we were idling or making useless progress.
Waiting for the rain to stop.
Destination's beautiful.
Seems that I'm still waiting for the sun.
Someday will come back to us, if you're willing let it go.
Why won't you just let this be your sun?
It seems like yesterday we had the world our way.
But some say we're heading for destruction.
I'll ask you "What in the world should we do?"
This light is green our break is through.
Are we not trying or are we trying too hard?
Well, you know I never want to miss,
I hold on tight and reminisce.
But it's bittersweet to me.
When time stands still as it's trapped inside
the letterbox you gave back to me.
But I'm the one who keeps on reading.
But I'm the one who wants to let it go.
I'm the first to speak.
You're the last to know.
Another scene that we're creating,
I need to know if we're still making useless progress.
Verse 1 - Sleep
She hides her belly behind baggy clothing
dying to get it out in the open.ain’t told no one
She couldn’t bring herself to get an abortion
She dreaming of holding her own in her arms and she’s
only 14
Feeling confused and uncertain
weather or not her pops would still love her if she’s
not a virgin
Her stomach’s hurting but she will not go to the doctor
afraid of getting caught lost with no one to talk to
One day walking home from school she lost her water
the pains grew and she dropped in front of her father
He hollered and rushed to help his daughter
His little baby’s body quaking his eyes fell helpless
upon her
She said I’m sorry father I've been keeping a secret
I got pregnant and I decided to keep it
Please don’t hate me Please don’t be mad
and just like that his little girl’s eyes rolled back
He waited for help but help came to late
or life came to fast as he watched it slip away
Forever sadness remains under that shade tree
watching his baby go as he delivered her baby
Chorus
I can see your smile
I can hear your voice
but I can’t touch your skin....ever again
Verse 2 - JM
My dad is getting sick and i gotta quit my job,
to take it on my moms is on the meds holding off the
bends
she sees her best friend dying not trying to see the
then boom boom boom, its like she left the room.
Pops is on the the drip, slipping in and out and keeps
leaving
just skin and bones, left lying in the linen
trying to not to lose them both like 'don't you leave
me too...
Momma, please be strong. I need you...'
When your a kid, things are just did for ya
ungrateful and unnoticed, parents just did things for
tuck you into bed and feed ya house ya clothes ya,
give you everything they can, sacrifice to keep ya
closer
You become a grown up when you know true suffering
those who love us most do so and we don't notice them
cause we engaged and engrossed and it ain't fair when,
One day you wake up your parent of your parents...
You start to realize that the love is unquestioned
as your own folks get older, and they drift toward the
exit
life exists in short bursts, life is growth spurts,
Resting the rhyme I've been struggling to write
And it's time that I make it
Yeah you're right that I fake it
Wander around with this wreck of a plan
While your home kissing daises
And you’re long to be shaken
Dressed up in uniform can't face the crowd on my own
Yeah it's stinking I get by with some drinking
I know you can see me you're breaking the ice where I
crawl
Yeah I miss it it's your call you know that I miss it
I become you
Just wait and see us
Nine years from here
And I follow you
To where we meet up
So far so near
Facing the ground 'Cuz I can't get a life of my own
And I know it 'Cuz it's wrong yeah I know it
I know you can see me you're breaking the ice were I
crawl
Yeah I miss it it's your call you know that I miss it
I become you
Just wait and see us
Nine years from here
And I follow you
To where we meet up
The lighted houses spell a wordI could have learned to
pronounce
The lighted houses spell a word
Another synonym for doubt
Leanne read it from the sky
She read it from the sky
You'll never drag it out of her
She only told me once or twice
You'll never drag it out of her
She keeps her secrets at least tries
She keeps it written on the inside
I never ... I should have ...
