So far, Mike Bethea has coached seven NBA players — including Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson and Terrence Williams — in his 33 seasons at Seattle’s Rainier Beach High School.

He’s also tutored 170 student-athletes who earned basketball scholarships at the NCAA Div.

His most electric, most talented player of all just might be the leader of his 10th state championship high school team — consensus No.

1-ranked class of 2026 prospect Tyran Stokes, a 6-foot-7, 225-pound Louisville native who on Tuesday announced he’d chosen Kansas as his college destination.

“He has the potential to be the best ever (of any who played at Rainier),” Bethea said Tuesday night in a phone interview with The Star.

“I mean, nobody’s ever seen anything like him up here — a kid that’s that big and yet that agile.

They’re usually playing center or something like that, not able to do the things he’s able to do.” Bethea invoked the name of a future Hall of Famer when discussing the potential of Stokes, who according to published reports averaged 31.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 4.0 steals per contest in 2025-26 for Rainier Beach.

He hit 53% of his shots, 41% of his 3-point attempts and 78% of his free throws.

“I think what we are going to see with him ...

people always wondered what LeBron (James) was going to be if he would have gone to Ohio State (instead of the NBA right out of high school).

I think people are going to see that,” Bethea told The Star, “because physically and everything, believe it or not, he (Stokes) is 10, 15 pounds heavier than LeBron (at same age).

“I mean, he’s a version of LeBron, but I still like to refer to him as ‘Magic Johnson with a jump shot.’” Versatility is the name of Stokes’ game.

In fact, Bethea said Stokes — who chose KU over Kentucky and Oregon — projects to be a tall guard in college.

“When you look and start thinking about it, he was a guard at 6-7, 235, 240 pounds (last season), built rock-solid, quick, fast, can shoot, but his passing is jumping off the charts with everybody,” Bethea said.

“And, I mean, that’s kind of scary.

So what you’re looking at is a guy who can come in and dominate at any level he plays at.

“Oh my gosh, his passing is crazy.

That’s why I referred to him as Magic.

There are a lot of guys who will pass and get their teammates into trouble.

He’s one of those guys that all his teammates have got to do is the easy part, and that’s make the shot.

“He raises their level of play and he raises their confidence.

One thing I loved about him was he was always encouraging his teammates.

A lot of people were asking me, ’Man, you see him kind of barking out there?’ I said, ‘Yes, he holds his teammates accountable just like we hold them accountable.’” Bethea added that “some people take him the wrong way, that he is cocky or something.

He is so full of energy, a great teammate who wants to make everybody around him better.

He’s just a bundle of energy.

You don’t want to harness anything like that.

People just have to get to know him for who he really is.

“He’s having a good time and having fun out on the court,” Bethea continued.

“He even got the other teams’ crowds pumped up and they’re loving him.

He’s giving the other crowd high-fives.

He’s really bringing the energy to the gym and it’s so much fun.

It’s a breath of fresh air to me.” Bethea said Stokes not only can rattle the rim with spectacular dunks off drives to the basket, but can drill outside shots past the 3-point line.

He was a 41% from 3 this past season.

“He can shoot it, but he....
