Just the other day, I posted about NYC playground legend/Puerto Rican Pro League champion Angelo “Munch” Cruz (read it here). Well, today I found the above clip of him doing his thing down in PR. Check the crossover at 5:10!
Unfortunately, Angel Cruz has been missing for the last 10 years. Missing as in there is no record of his existence anywhere–not in any morgue, hospital, prison, where ever. If anyone has information about his whereabouts and would like to reunite him with his concerned family and friends, kindly reach out to Mike Napolitano at nappynap@excite.com or 646 239 7450.

Bob,
Munch would come thru to St Ann’s church in the South Bx and ball with us young teenagers every so often in the early 90’s. That video up there was dope, but his court vision was simply amazing. We were faster and jumped higher than him, but he would just cook us on the court with his innate understanding of the game. Much love to the brotha and I hope he’s alright.
btw, that crossover is TRUTH haha.

I know you can’t really compare anyone to anyone based on a 5 minute clip, but he reminded me of Butch Lee.
