Two summers ago I saw Jamal Tinsley wreck every guard at the entertainers tournament. So much for all the guys with the stupid nicknames. P.S. - none of them are in the league . . . Jamal is! Game Over. - Kev, Harlem. |

Is this true? Yet another Fly Williams story. Fly plays the first half of a game, drops 36. He gets pissed off at his team, switched to the other team and in the second half hit 42 against the team he started the game with. Say it ain't so! - Brooklyn. |

Centennial Park, Roosevelt, N.Y. - Nickname L.I. Rucker. Circa summer, mid 1980's. I witnessed Curtis "Smooth" Hammond make 13 shots off the backboard in a row from 25 to 30 feet out and they did not have a 3 point line! The bank was open late that night! |

Hey GO, It's AJ straight out of Brooklyn, and much respect to this new site. I have an Urban Legend for you. Mark Brown, AKA: Doc of FES Academy once dropped 56 on Moses Scurry in the BRC, and anyone who saw Doc play would rank him right up there with the Pearl and Fly Williams. - AJ FES Academy class of '86 |

No disrespect to the Pearl but for tricks the Bone Collector is the greatest of all time. I saw BC at one time or another put the ball between the legs of everybody on the other team. They know it's coming and still can't do anything about it. Gun Hill, Da Bronx. Peace! |

Two stories for ya! A few years back at IS 8 I watched Ron Artest punk the whole Riverside Squad. That's right, during a timeout he walked over to the Riverside bench and asked . . . "If you guys are so good why are you playing a zone"? He then replied, "Cause none of you can check me"! Ron then scored 30 or 40 points and beat Riverside by himself. Year or two later I watched Smoosh Parker do the same at Roberto Clemente State Park. I guess if you want to be an Urban Legend you got to do it against the best. Riverside is still # 1. - NYC |

Another TRUE "Pearl" Washington story!!! My wife was due to give birth any day. I was living in Tampa, Florida. The Miami Heat were playing their first game ever in the new Miami Arena, it was exhibition opening night 1988. I took the chance and drove 5 1/2 hours to see the "Pearl" do his thing. My wife thought I was crazy - but she came with me - I can't remember the team or the players but they tried to press the Pearl. LOL! Pearl went along the side line on the left (he alway went left - ask Mark Jackson), split 2 defenders by rolling the ball between them and then scooped up the ball and threw a blind pass to Rony Seikaly for an easy dunk. I jumped out of my seat and the 5 1/2 hour ride home was easy. Thanks for all the memories Pearl. - Cliff Gonzalez - Riverbank |

Best move ever!!!! His team down by 2 points, - I saw this cat in the Bronx, Co-op City, in the Jerome Pickett tourney cross over on the opposing point guard (who stumbled into his backcourt partner), then he put the ball between the legs of the forward doing all this at full speed, no lay up here, he pulled up for a three - all net!! GAME OVER!!!! The point guard??????
None other than GAME OVER president and CEO ------- Eric Hicks. - Cliff Gonzalez - Co-op City / Riverbank

Who was the greatest NYC high school player? Well, some say Kareem, some say Albert King, some say Kenny Anderson. I don't know if this guy was the greatest, but he certainly was the most exciting and entertaining. Pearl Washington is who I am talking about. Every gym was packed to see Pearl do his thing. I seen Pearl dribble through a full court press, crossing over and shaking two defenders to the floor in the backcourt, then cross over on the big man to lay him for two. He was an incredible high school player. - Brooklyn, N.Y. |
