This was the all-city team when I was a junior. I had only gotten as high as a Soph Sub on our schools JV team......so I am not listed.
I went to the same high school as the one guy on the second team. My HS played against Marc Jackson and Alvin Williams. I played against Smith on the second team when I was in grade school.
if you could have taken those fifteen guys into college together, you would have had a top 25 team easy. Other than Kobe (who wouldn’t count because he played outside of the city) you wouldn’t find a bigger recruit than Rasheed.
probably the last great basketball era for Philadelphia
Started a men’s hoops league this past Monday. 6 team league. I think we’re the best team in the league, if I’m a team’s 3rd best player that’s pretty good. I’ve been running point. We won our first game by 10. See how it goes.

I'm 39 too, you guys. Last time I played in a men's league was when I was like 30-31. I've barely even played pickup since then; I'm sure I'd do great.

Ha I need everyone I play with to know you will get very little defense out of me and you want to get me the ball when I’m open behind the three point line.
That’s it. That’s all I could do at 17 and all I could do at 40

I was a pretty scrappy defender in my day, a serviceable rebounder considering my size, and could knock down my share of open jumpers. But I never had anything that could even loosely be described as "handles". If I dribbled more than 3 or 4 times on one possession, something had gone horribly wrong.

I wasn’t a point guard so at 5’8” I was limited. balls never saw me in my heyday. By college I had put on some pounds and lost a step.

Oh I always thought you guys were high school sweethearts.

I would enjoy a break down of some of the better teams you and BSMB were on together, and who was the more important contributor to the team. TYIA
