In that instance I meant Lew Alcindor. My high school was in Brooklyn diocese, which did not play in the same league as Power Memorial in Manhattan. We did play Power Memorial in an exhibition game after he left. They had a pair of twins, about 6’ 6’, (white guys) who could reverse tomahawk, but we beat them. We lost to Holy Cross by one point in a one-game tie breaker for Brooklyn championship, otherwise we would have played Power for the city championship. We had a really good team that year.
that’s cool- alcindor is now kind of a jerk- but was fun to watch back i nthe day-
Just saw a special on Pistol Pete Maravich- what a player he was! incredible record- averaging 44.2 shots per game- scored 60+ points one game- Too bad his health was so bad- He died at 40- and saw that his son died at 42 this year 2024- not sure what happened to him though-
