    If you dion't mention Joe hammond, then you don't really know basketball, ask ANY hooper from the East coast. Kareem Abdul Jabbar tried to get the Lakers to sign him to a contract...
  • I'm born and raised in New York City almost 63 now. We grew up watching street ball, primarily the Rucker in Harlem. I saw Clyde, Nate Tiny Archibald, Charlie Scott, Pee Wee, Helicopter, Doctor Jay and My Favorite, Joe Hammond 'The Destroyer". He coukd do it all, and dud. Great shooter with a Banker, dope handle, get uonbut was mostlyba scorer. His battles with Doc were Legendary.
  • @joelmorris9590
    Jerry West said that Raymond Lewis was the best player who never play in the NBA and Jerry Tarkanian said Raymond was the best basketball player he ever seen. There are two documentaries of Raymond.
  • I guess we're not counting ABA players that never or only for a very short period played in the NBA. Like Mel Daniels and Roger Brown.
  • Joe Hammond NYC Legend. Turned down the Lakers and Knicks. Check out his story. Like Pee Wee Kirkland, was getting more money in the streets at that time.
  • Clifford Allen, 1986.... Never played a high school game, but Dick Vitelle wrote about him in SI and said he was the #1 player in the country... Tark the Shark offered him a ride, but he was a LA Crip, ended up murdering an old lady in a robbery and got sentenced to 90 years.
  • @davidhead4983
    If JOE " THE DESTROYER HAMMOND " IS NOT THE GOAT ON THIS LIST. You DROP THE BALL.....!
  • I think Moses Malone was the first High school player to be drafted
  • @ralphharris4062
    Check on Reggie Harding who was drafted by Pistons in 1962 out of high school but he never played college basketball so had to wait 4yrs before the Pistons redrafted him again . So he's first to be drafted but Moses Malone was first high schooler to play pro ball starting in ABA .. But Daryl Dawkins was the first high schooler to go directly to NBA and play ..
  • @georgewitt6842
    Reggie Harding never played a college basketball game! Drafted by Detroit Pistons twice! He couldn’t make a college team because he reportedly couldn’t read!
  • @dwill95

  • @surgetwo9
    Hook Mitchell was a beast and a underrated dunker created legendary dunks

    3 of the guards from Arkansas--Marvin Delph, Sidney Moncrief, and Ron Brewer. The group that played with Bill Cartwright at the University of San Francisco was great. I remember Chubby Cox had great handles. The Iowa guard--Roy Marble, the shooting guard who played at Pitt with Jerome Lane and Charles Smith--Demetrious Gore. Dwayne McClain and Gary McClain were pretty good when they helped to beat Patrick Ewing's Hoyas and Anderson Hunt off the Running Rebels team were pretty good.
