I too grew up on the street in Harlem playing ball. I played in summer leagues and winter leagues. Speaking of Sundance, I know him as Sonny. Edward Holliman is his real name and we both grew up in the Taft projects in East harlem. He was older than I and did show me some moves on the court. <BR/><BR/>I played for One Eye Sam when I was a kid. Great coach who is still coaching today. In fact, he coached Joe Hammond when he was a kid with a team called the Browns. Their team picture used to be posted in the Buster Brown shoe store on 125th street. <BR/><BR/>I note that LFBall played for the Church of the masters with Leroy Otis. I remember Mr. Leroy having a lot of change in his pocket and he would always jingle it. I also remember perhaps his best player back in the sixties, Keith Zeigler.<BR/>Oh yea, there were the Palmer brothers, Marion and Bernard.<BR/><BR/>I played in the biddy basketball league hosted by Snookie Walker. We played on lowered rims and smaller basketballs.<BR/><BR/>I too won a City championship in 1971 while competing in the summer Rucker league/City Wide league. I even got some ink in the Amsterdam News.<BR/><BR/>Pound for Pound, the greatest basketball player to ever play in New York City was Joe Hammond. Yes and this includes Kareem.<BR/><BR/>By the way, my name is Rob WilsonRobWil56https://www.blogger.com/profile/13191548827906769088noreply@blogger.com
