2004 MR. BASKETBALL

The top honor for Boys High School Basketball in Ohio has been named.

For the past three years, King James was Ohio's winner of Mr. Basketball. That's all changed with LeBron now wearing a Cavs jersey and working his way to NBA Rookie of the Year Honors.

The 2004 winner is Lima Shawnee star Jamar Butler. The 6'2 senior averaged 31.6 points this past season, ad in 8.3 assists, 5.8 boards and 2.6 steals and you can see why Ohio State and Cincinnati recruited him hard.

After giving UC a verbal, Butler found Columbus and OSU calling his name. With much debate, Butler made a change and signed with the Buckeyes. Here is a look at all the former winners of this award.
