@Stylie thanks for the thread. Threw up in my mouth a little over the Knicks/Isaiah Thomas part. Completely forgot about the $20 And1 sneakers. I definitely remember the off youtube videos and I'm glad he found happiness in China. We all have issues, and ultimately Marbury never did any harm...

Lloyd Daniels, James Williams

I'm leaving a lot of people out. When I was a kid I only read books about NYC basketball legends. From 5th grade through 10th grade I only cared and thought about basketball.

I would just put a few point guards on the team lol That's tough. Let me think on it

There was a lot of hype around Booger. I thought he played AAU for Dyckman, but that doesn't make much sense if he was from Brooklyn. I actually thought Dyckman started an AAU program because of Booger, but my memory is probably wrong Soul in the Hole was focused around summer tourneys in...

****, yeah, from Tilden in Brooklyn. It was supposed to be Cota vs Marbury in the Garden for the finals but Tilden got upset

I could be wrong here but around 93-94, Nike created their own summer league to compete with AAU (I believe this is also the same time they developed ABCD to compete with Five-Star). I believe this all kinda revolved around Schea Cotton, as his AAU team no longer competed in the official AAU...

Absolutely. Cam was the 1 and Mase the 2. Richie Parker was also on the team. The played for Manhattan Center. The next year was the year of all the Richie Parker drama. Maybe someone can help my memory out here - I remember around 92 or 93 Gauchos might have stopped competing in AAU and...

I remember them playing for Riverside Church

He was a year or two older than Marbury, but Cam lit Lincoln up one year.

City Rocks / upstate NY is good people. Not sure if it was called "City Rocks" back in the mid 90s but I had a lot of respect for those dudes. I camped in PA every summer and remember one summer having a few Albany kids at my meal table and we became really close.

That Rice team was one of the best ever. Super aggressive and did nothing but take it straight to the rim. You knew where they were going but you were not going to stop it. That was also just the game back then, and it was great game to watch. I always felt that Felipe never developed a...

So..stepping away from the fam to give a quick response, but will honestly be up all night thinking about this. I wish I had more time to gather all the memories. 80-90s bbal... a NYC 3 or 4 would have better ball handling skills than a top PG recruit from anywhere in the country. That is...

Is Cam’Ron mentioned?

Wow, watching ASAP. I know AAU has a bad rep now but in the 90s AAU was such a great experience. So many great memories and it was really unprecedented to see so much talent on one floor between high schoolers. I grew up dreaming of playing for Gauchos, but looking back it was an honor to be...

Thank you for posting. Former early 90s NYC AAU kid who grew playing against the that ridiculous Gauchos squad
