Anthony is a notable Charm City past resident. He starred for two high schools within the city limits: Towson Catholic before transferring to Oak Hill Academy. He rose to fame at the high school level before leading Syracuse to its first and only national championship in the 2002-2003 season.
Queen played his roundball for St. Frances Academy in Baltimore before heading to Montverde Academy in Florida. He eventually made his way back to Maryland — suiting up for the Terrapins in 2004-2005. The New Orleans Pelicans took him 13th overall.
Turns out Anthony wasn’t the only NBA legend who provided a pregame angle for the Ravens-Lions battle.
The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player Jackson rolled into M&T Bank Stadium clad in his own NBA-themed look.
Jackson showed up in a specialized Kobe Bryant shirt. But one depicting the late NBA legend’s 81-point night against the Toronto Raptors. Jackson’s shirt was a Los Angeles Times headline with “81!” emblazoned.
The Ravens star quarterback even wore some NBA kicks too: The Ferrari Air Jordan 14s.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh noted Jackson has rarely loss on MNF. He entered with an impressive 7-2 overall record. Baltimore, though, trailed early 7-0 after the Lions scored on their opening possession. But Henry tied things up with his 28-yard rumble.
