As the only "white Boy" a.k.a. "Snowball" on the 1972 Glen Springs Academy HS BBall team I can say that Fly Williams was truly the best baller I have ever seen.  Unstoppable all the way to the triple ot win over St. Thomas Moore of CT to take the Northeast US Prep Championship, Fly was clearly above the rim.  The now great Bob Costas put it well when he wrote of Fly that he was "The greatest player we never saw."  Fly is the missing link between Dr J and Michael . . . Peace Fly . . . look me up if you remember?  -  jckeagle

Jackie Knowles, a.k.a. the Helicopter . . . swept a defensive board . . . 180'd the board and whipped it downcourt to a snowbird . . . who in turn slammed . . . Helicopter then returned to Earth AFTER the ball hit court . . . THE EVENT WAS REPORTED IN SPORTS ILLUSTRATED . . . the man was 6'7".  -  Olcoach, Fort Worth, Texas

Riverside Church in the 70's & 80's was Harlem's Team.  This fraternity included Tony Price, Reggie Carter, Gary Hooker, and Albert King.  I played with some great talent such as Mike Moses, Rory Grimes, Bill Sadler, Kevin William, and Dee Dee Powell.  We were the best group of 13-15 year olds in the summer leagues.  We played in City Wide, Bklyn USA, Breevort, and the Whitney M. Young Jr. tournaments.  We also, with the help of our Brooklyn brothers Cosell Brown, Beatle Washington, Richie Gordon, big Mo (Maurice, forgive me I can't remember his last name) and Manhattans' Lonnie Green, won the BCI Junior Tournament in Phoenix, Arizona.  To bad the Church is no longer a part of the Harlem Basketball scene.  It was a haven for us back then, kept us out of the streets and into school.  Me and a lot of the city ball players have a lot to be grateful for thanks to Riverside Church, Mr. Lorch, Kenny "Eggman" Williams and Bill Blocker.  -  Terry Bomar, Spartanburg, SC

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
