Had they chosen the path during their teenage years, there is no doubt Jesse White and Brett Meredith could now be lining up with the Sydney Kings basketball team, rather than the Swans.
 
Both were outstanding young basketball talents, representing their respective home states at junior level.
 
This week, the two Swans took a step back in time to their teenage years, catching up with Sydney Kings’ duo Luke Martin and captain Julian Khazzouh to shoot some hoops at the Alexandria basketball stadium.
 
“I think the boys were pretty impressed with our basketball skills,” Jesse White laughed.
 
“I think most sportsman take an interest in other sports, and I love basketball and love getting out to watch the Kings in action,” he said.
 
The Swans players also spent some time trying to pass on the intricacies of AFL to their basketball counterparts, as can be seen in the video player above.
 
White and Meredith are likely to be in the crowd this Sunday at the Entertainment Centre when the Kings take on the Townsville Crocodiles. Tip off is at 4pm.
