Who the heck knows who was or was not born in NYC? And, who cares?

Kareem. Then everyone else. My mother's HS team used to play Lew Alcindor's team when she was a student. Fun stories.

The NY Times did a follow-up on this by seeking input from: a handful of former players, scouts and sports journalists chose as their all-New York N.B.A. teams.- Tom Konchalski
- Kenny Smith
- Albert King
- Al Bianchi
- Harvey Araton
- George Vescey
- Pete Vescey
- Chris Broussard
- Lou Carnesecca
All of the names that our HoyaTalk posters have suggested are on at least some of the teams (except Strummer's choice of Jessie Sapp!) ... and then there's Louie's - let's just say his was heavily influenced by his appreciation of his own guys. All in all. a fun exercise from the NY Times. www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/12/24/sports/basketball/new-yorks-best-basketball-players-as-picked-by-insiders.html?ref=basketball |
