  Great book, and great video. was that the infamous Lang Whitaker I saw in the background of a few shots?

• lowblow Posted: Jan.27 at 2:55 am
  one of the few books that i’ve actually read outside of school…and i have to say it is truly great

• Ryan Jones Posted: Jan.27 at 8:45 am
  Nice catch, homie — Lang is the guy Bobbito has his arm around at the 2:27 mark.

  Great video! I love Bobbito…he seem real cool

  thought so. A buddy of mine (played on my college team, I was the manager) lives in NYC and went to the exhibit recently. Said he met Albert King. Looks like a must see if you’re a hoophead in the NYC area.

  What an amazing video, wow. Wish I could have been there, but either way much respect to SLAM, Converse, Bobbito and of course Rick & Co.

  Really proud of my friend Winston and all of his good friends for helping to create this masterpiece which will preserve this moment in time for eternity. Special rememberance to a true gentleman named Rodney who taught me a few lessons in the world of backgammon. Many thanks to Rick and all the players who brought this together. Hey Albert…you still have those overalls?

  It was an honor to be the selector at this event man. so many legends i had only seen in pictures, so many legends i had only seen on tv, so many old dudes looking young and hip….all for a fantastic cause. Rick Telander is a gentleman and a scholar no doubt. Thanks to my best friend Kool Bob Love for doing a fantastic job emceeing the night, and big up to Stan Lomax & Dan Cherry for coordinating it all. Hats off gentlemen…now off to do some Mikan drills…1 hunnit
