There's a spray-painted mural of Larry up on Weeks Ave. & Burnside Ave. in the BX...shyt has doves around it & everything. Dominicans & Blacks up there knew about his hustle...forever a legend in the hood.

Being from NYC....I couldn't imagine creating a thread dedicated to a place I thought was wack, fell off, or been soft ever since someone came thru and crushed the buildings. Matter fact, I don't see me using any of my thought process on such a place.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall seeing even these names:
Devin Ebanks
Speedy Claxton
Channing Frye
Sundiata Gaines
Danny Green ( And don't come at me with no LI bullshyt, any one who knows anything about the bball scene in NYC knows about North Babylon and just how many nikkas go out there to train)
Tobias Harris
AJ Price
Mark Jackson
Doron Lamb
Scott Machado
Kyle O'Quinn
Lamar Odom
John Salley
Hilton Armstrong
Andre Barrett
Gary Forbes(Grew up in Bklyn)
Anthony Mason(NYC HS bball)
Kenny Anderson
Wally Szczerbiak(Much more LI than anyone else on this list)
Johnson Brothers
Charles Jenkins
Let's look at the top 25 teams in the NCAA:
Durand Scott
Russ Smith
Kevin Ware
Shane Southwell
Kamari Murphy
James Southerland
Kevin Parrom
Tray Woodall
Melvin Johnson
NYC still does and will continue to produce good bball players but its ignorant to make a thread like this and not consider the deteriation of high school basketball in the city. PSAL is not what it used to be. Rice is gone. CTK not what it use to be. How can the city continue to compete with St. Anthony's, St. Benedicts and St.Patricks only a bus and train ride away? South Kent sees a lot of our talent too. Its happening with some of our top female players as well. Too many kids having to got he prep/juco route.No one gets down in the parks anymore
you are expected to be "training" in a gym. All these "trainers" are not cheap.
Our academics suck. The schools with the "better" academics don't have the players nor the preferred coaching. Not to mention the politics involved smh. Every aau coach is a handler now. Let's not forget what the hype here can do to a kid(see Telfair, Stephenson).
If Lavin can continue to build up St. John's, I think it can help in nyc bball taking a turn for the better.
