Guinness Book of World Records holder Jack Ryan came down to our afternoon 14th St. Y run a couple of weeks ago looking like the 80% field goal shooter of yesteryear. Minus the hops, anyone there who never had the chance to see him in his prime got a good sense of just how nice […]

Last week my homeboy Ralph Hines showed up to the 14th St. Y lunchtime run with the only official early Dyckman Tournament t-shirt from ‘95! This was from the early years when there were no shorts or Nike sponsorship. In fact, Kenny Stevens told me in an ‘04 Bounce interview, “The first year we only […]

Levy Mwanza, former captain of Zimbabwe’s National Team.
I’ve been playing at the L.E.S.’ 14th St. Y for almost two decades now. From ‘93 to ‘04, I literally lived right across the street and would be up in there eh’reday, yo. For real. It was my second home. In the mid-’90s, I was part of a […]
