i’ve known castro since ‘04. we met playing ball at rodney park, real cool brother. then we were on opposing squads at the ‘04 AND 1 open run outside the Garden. he cuffed it on me bad on a fast break! i didn’t jump with him of course, but i was the only defender back and it wasn’t pretty to watch! i have a photo of it somewhere. he got picked to be in the building that night. i was happy for him.

since then we see each other all the time. his handle back then was shaky, but it’s improved since, as has his long range, or i should say long long range. to correct lower east scribe (amazing article by the way, homeboy), castro went up against Speedy in the 2007 Last Man Standing, not ‘06. Castro was pulling from two feet BEHIND the NBA 3-point line, off the dribble. it was impressive. speedy just used his veteran sense to beat him, but castro could very well take that 1 on 1 battle one day with experience.

i saw Castro last month. i was dj’ing in portland and he was there with the harlem wizards. i will say this again–great dude, man. i wish him the best as someone who well deserves all the light he’s getting. word up.
