"I played for Gauchos"

[Buckeye Fever]

Another line by a NYC rapper(Cam) that had me on some investigatin' shyt when I heard it. Found out it was a youth basketball league, then I remembered I would hear Bill Raftery mention it every once in a while back in the 90s during college basketball broadcasts.

Gauchos got a pretty nice alumni:

Kenny Anderson
Stephen Marbury
Kemba Walker
Rod Strickland
Jamal Mashburn
God Shammgod
Chris Mullin
Felipe Lopez
Mark Jackson
John Salley

The gym

you spelled Gauchos wrong OP fix that wish I could go back and get my old gauchos starter jacket NY nikkas know what i'm talking bout them shyts commanded instant respect and was piff Riverside church alumni is probably bigger BTW

edit: and to correct/inform OP gauchos wasnt a tournament Gauchos was a team but they held tournaments as well as traveled all over the city and out of town to play as did other squads..with the major teams like Gauchos and riverside you had the A,B and C squads obviously A squad being most prestigous..

lil kids division was small fry and midgets

other notable teams then: Riverside (cam also said lorch touched mase thats the team he was speaking of), Milbank, young life (they killed it with the purple and yellow laker colors and warmups)

other notable tournaments were

Milbank, Laguardia house, each one teach one, City wide, Rucker, Douglass, soul in the hole(brooklyn), PAL, Bronx River, 145th street of top of the head...almost forgot Kingdome

His own teamates couldn't handle his passes

He was lightyears beyond GA TECH

Back then I played for Gauchos/Went over to Riverside
Young Life, Therm left

Blood played for Stone Gym
That’s when I told him and Jim
We ain’t ballin’ for real
Where’s the stone gems?

Was listening to this a couple days ago, I like when Cam says "I'm that ***** man"... The conviction in his voice gives me life.
