Eric was a 4th team all-america in 1981 2. Eric was not a freshman all-america at UM. He got that honor in 1983. 3. His senior year at Central High he averaged 20.9 pts and 8.9 assists Best player from Flint par none. Good article. Nice ariticle… but needed to note a few errors:

I followed him throughout high school. He had more God-given talent than anybody. "You can take the five best defensive players in the NBA and they couldn't stop this kid". " Raymond would play all our players one-on-one and kill "em, and half of them were All Americans." he said. "He was as fast as Allen Iverson, only taller, bigger and stronger, I kid you not, he could handle the ball like you couldn't believe, just make the ball disappear." I never saw anyone guard him one-on-one. I never saw anyone contain him. I never saw anyone stop his dribble penetration. In a college game once, he scored 73 points. I was memorized by his ability and I just couldn't believe it." In his novel 2005 novel Runnin' Rebel Tark proclaimed Raymond Lewis as "The Greatest Player I Ever Saw."

Former Harlem Globetrotter great Marques Haynes said JBoogie can really handle the ROCK !
