I have seen many play over the years but there are only two guards that were better than all that they faced.  And that was Pookie "MVP" Wilson and Ed ‘Booger' Smith.  And when I say better I mean better because they just straight gave it to everybody.  Nobody can front on that . . . nobody. . . .  - Twocommalingo

Brooklyn has best guards.  People need to know about Darren Robinson, Eastern District 1980-1983.  Saw him drop 30 on the Pearl (Washington) and on Mark Jackson in different games.  Alan Watson, another Brooklyn guard out of East NY High School was sick.  Last but not least is Jeff Wikerson 5'4" from South Shore 1980.  Would score 30 on anyone - high school, college or pro.  Jeff Wikerson, rest in peace, was the truth.  -  GB - Brooklyn, NY

Gil Reynolds definitely needs to get much more respect.  I played with Gil for about 5-7 years winning tournaments in Rego Park and Lost Battalion which was the Queens citywide.  We pressed teams all day long.  Gil was a true believer in hard work and that rubbed off on me.  He opened my eyes to basketball and what it could do for me.  Played ball in East Carolina with him, Laurinberg Prep, Cincinnati Basketball camp, NYC Golden Hoops, Ditmas Park, and Clavers to name a few.  By far the greatest coach in Brooklyn hands down.  -  Brent a.k.a.

I witnessed Booger and the Future put on a show at the Rucker Park . . . I know both of them personally and like both games . . . It was one of the best games in 1999 . . . - Solo, Bronx, NY

Back in 82' - 83' I snuck up to 145th Street and Lenox Avenue to see the Championship game, when I saw the Jedi (Walter Berry) score 50 and the Animal (Richie Adams) score 49.  It was incredible!!!!  By the way Artie Green had about 20-25 himself.  Best game I ever saw.  -  wreid3

Wuddup.  One time I was in the park and there was a fourteen year old kid named Andrew Reyes from Patterson and he was running with the men giving them buckets.  He is in the 9t grade now.  He goes to Spellman.  Watch out for him.  He is a problem.  - PERTYRICAN05

It's this kid out of Garden City, Long Island.  Name is Aaron Aniton . . . his nickname around Long Island is Havoc . . . now I had heard about this kid around the way in my neighborhood in Brooklyn . . . I heard a lot about his handle and this trick that was unheard of . . . so we where out on a court one day in Long Island . . . and I was watching this game where this little 16 year old kid was killin' the game . . . it was this one kid kept talkin' trash . . . tellin' him "all you got is tricks you can't do nothin' else".  This boy they call Havoc hit this kid with the Shammgod, then hit ‘em with the hard crossover from left to right and the boy fell on his ass . . . then he shoots the jumper in his face from beyond the arch . . . the crowd was goin' crazy . . . people were runnin' all over the court . . . now I had no idea this was the kid I had heard about . . . so the game goes on . . . this kid Aaron and his team steal the ball and start on a fast break . . . and this kid Aaron not only got game . . . but he's fast as hell . . . I've never seen someone run so fast . . . if he plays football he can probably make it in the NFL as a running back . . . but he's running up the court and gets to the 3 point line and points up . . . Now that normally means an alley-oop . . . and I'm looking at this kid and he's at least 5'7 . . . so I'm thinking he not gone do nuthin' . . . but his teammate throws him the alley . . .oh my God . . . I have never seen someone so short jump so high . . . this kid jumps up from the baseline and catches it and slams it home . . . the game was over right then . . . so after the game was over he was shootin' around and I went over and gave him props on his game and asked him who he was . . .he said Aaron . . . I said Aaron? . . .  what's your last name?  He says Aniton . . . Aaron Aniton . . . but my people call me Havoc . . . I was in utter shock . . . I witnessed a legend in the making . . . and this kid showed me some of his tricks . . . OHH MYYY GOODD . . . this kid shoulda tried out for the SHAKIN' TEAM . . . because he would be playing in that MSG game . . . Swift don't have nothing on this kid . . . I mean Swift is quick with it . . . But this dude Havoc got tricks up the wazoo . . . this boy got game GAME OVER . . . so check him out . . .  -  Greg Wittman, Brooklyn, New York
