I really enjoyed the post by J.Scott in Atlanta. This brother had to be from Harlem because he brought up some real street ball players that I haven't heard about in awhile, but rememebr very well. I grew up in the Polo Ground Houses which is right across the street from Rutger Park. So, I have witnesses many historical games and players that were so good that the world should've been blessed to enjoy seeing them play. Some of the more memorable that J. Scoot mentioned were: Al Eford, Leroy Mack and D-mack. That whole family could ball. The McDonald's are like the Marbury family from Brooklyn. He also mentioned Muggs, Mike Boogie and his brother Tip Dog, Master Rob, Tony Hargraves (Iona), Rory Hines (Iona),, Rory Grimes and Jumpin Johnny Pruitt.
I'd like to add to this list: Joe Hammond "The Destroyer" The Future, Black Ted (Sugar Hill), Muggy-Mugg, Leroy Shaw (Snap-Crackle-Pop), George "The Animal" Fletcher, Alonzo "Action Jackson or "Super Kid", Tony Campbell, V.J. Black Phil, White Phil, App-Jack, Bobby Willis, Artie Green, Charlton "Mo-Toe" Green, Tony Price, Captain Sky (Edenwald Projects), Rick "The Eel" Francis (Dewiit Clinton, Lock Haven College & 'Tiny Archibald All Stars), Arnold Dugger (R.I.P.), Daryl Powell "Dee-Dee" (Mckinley Projects), Mohammed (Sugar Hill), Lonnie and James Green (Polo Grounds), "E" (Polo Grounds, Hal (Polo Grounds), Bosco (Polo Grounds), Cool Fred Brown, Pearl Washington 'Pac Man", Little Ira, Nappy (DeWitt Clinton), "Bobwire" (Bronx), Bruce (Lincoln Projects), Kevin Morris, Nigel Wallace, Black Stan (Polo Grounds), Hansel (Sugar Hill), Ike and his brother Barry (Sugar Hill), Hansel (Sugar Hill), Keith "Ice Smith" (Morris High School & The Gouchos)...R.I.P. Eddy "Boss" Moss (Power Memorial High School & Syracuse University), Larry Petty (Power Memorial High School), Greg Poindexter, Donald Myers, Greg "Bo" Harvey, God Shamgod Wells, Shaheem Holloway (N.J.)
