Steph and Larry not getting along...Stevie Wonder saw this coming.- J Biggs, Brooklyn

Why should Stephon stay or go?: Give this team some time and they will be fine with Stephon at the point. J-Boogie...Hollar Back

There was this brother from up on 166st street in the Bronx where I grew up.  His name was James Cousar that folks called "Fo Jo".  He was by far the best I had ever seen with a basketball.  Unfortunately he collapsed during a high school game but by all accounts he was a can't miss pro baller.  Serious ballers like Walter Berry, Malloy Nesmith, John Morton, and Troy Truesdale will testify to this as well as anyone over 35 from the Highbridge Projects. RIP Fo Jo!  -  Ivan Williams

Back in the late seventies and early eighties I witnessed some of the best games ever played but one game that sticks in my mind is an alumni game played at JHS 263 in Brownsville, Brooklyn.  The game was coached by George Hall and featured Earl Fuller against one of the most underrated Hispanic basketball players ever to play in Brownsville: Ornado Rosado, a.k.a. 90, his nickname from the Howard Houses and Farmingdale Community College.  It was quite a battle.  You really should have been there.  And if I had my pick of top 50 players from Brownsville, certainly I would pick Ornado Rosado, Brownsville's Pete Maravich.  - revnowlin, Brooklyn, NY

Why should Stephon stay or go?  The true measure of a point guard is  the ability to LEAD his or her team to victory down the stretch, to make what ever play is needed to get the job done. Sometimes this calls for the spectacular and sometimes it means just make your free throws. At the end we are all judge by our body of work...Just food for thought. Game Over

You forgot Harvey Young, Pete Brown, players like Alonzo Jackson, Moe Head, Bob Gillyard, Danny Cooper, and Bernard Eubanks from Milbanks and Kennedy Center in Harlem.  - rlgillyard, the Bronx

Jackie Knowles used to have the mid-night run every Wednesday at the Webster PAL in the Bronx.  Players like Gus Williams, Ray Williams, Mike Red, Julio Tappia, Kevin Williams, Cazzie, the McCray brothers, Chris Washburn (Golden State Warriors), Henry Wilmore, and Moe Head.  The run would start at 10 o'clock and end around four the next morning.  The gym stayed packed all night.  What was so nice about the run, everybody got to play, Jack would size up the teams.  He didn't care if you earn millions or not. You played whenever your time came.  Jackie Knowles coached them all in some of the most exciting tournaments in New York City.  - anonymous

My boy Patrick, a.k.a. Blue Link, always plays at the St. Ignatious Gym.  He's the best one there.  During halftime in a game, he called out to anyone in the stands to try to check him.  This 17 year old came, and BL put the ball between the dude's legs, came back around him, threw the ball up, and pulled the guy shorts down.  When the kid pulled them up, BL hit it off his head.  The kid got mad and started to play serious D. BL shook the dude so bad, he fell and his face hit the floor.  The kid lost a tooth. -  saintmarksplayer, Brooklyn

This goes out to Joe Hammond, the destroyer, Big Black Herman, the helicopter, Pee wee Kirkland and the whole uptown crew thank you for the memories.  There will never be any others like the first brothers of the black top running and gunning unstoppable, unbelievable, the best there ever was.  I wasn't around to see the way you controlled the court and who ever were on the other team.  I only hope that there are pictures of these great urban legends. This is a part of history for all those who lace up their sneakers and for one hour on Saturday morning shoot the rock and say this is old school baby! - cbw.lewis
