There are blocked shots, and then there is the essence of gettin’ boarded, or what we called, “getting pinned” to the backboard back in the day. It immediately reminds me of seeing Richie Adams or Walter Berry, guys in the ’80s who took that park aesthetic and made it a melody during the NCAA days. […]

“Leg, 2-Pieces, Extra Crispy, Please . . .” / Apr 30, 2008 / 9:55 am
I finished my Pelham Fritz 38 and Over League basketball season with two disappointing losses in the Semi-Finals, however my feet were very happy to close it out with two very scrumptious choices. Thing is, I can’t decide which combo I like better:
The 1st Gil are more attractive to me, however I’d give the nod […]

SEC, LOOK OUT! / Apr 29, 2008 / 10:00 am
The University of Florida has had its share of success in recent years (NCAA chips in 06’ and 07’ plus an NIT semi-final ‘08), and Coach Donovan is about to continue that with his latest recruit Erving Walker. On April 19th, I had an opportunity to attend the Jordan Brand Classic at the Garden and […]
Once Mecca For The Whip Whop Bong Bong . . . / Apr 29, 2008 / 9:53 am
Now a construction site. Yes. What you see above is the exact grounds were the mighty Basketball City once stood on 23rd St. and the West Side Highway. Inside were six full courts with wood floors and fiberglass backboards, open from 8am until 10pm. It opened in the late ’90s, and closed its doors last […]
