All-Time All-City Hoop Team

[beast of the east]

Paging Mr. Mashburn, Mr. Jamal Mashburn please.

Forgot about Jamal. Pretty much single handedly carried his Hayes team to city championship, and was NY State POY I'm pretty sure.

Yes all important and true but the list puts a priority on what NYC players did for their entire career.

Mash was consensus 1st team AA when college was still loaded with stars (Hurley, Webber, Hardaway, Grant Hill, Glenn Robinson, etc) and then avg 20 ppg in the league for 10+
years

MM Earl Manigault is on the list, and he had no career. So I don't get the criteria that they used.

I meant no professional career.

I understand what you mean. But when you and everyone else already knows you are the best, it really doesn't matter. Plus not having to prove himself in the pros the legend just keeps growing and growing.

Beast you've lost me. My initial comment was that Mark Jackson didn't deserve to be on the list based on his high school career. Mainman said that weight was put on what guys did over their entire career. At which point I questioned how Manigault can be on the list considering he didn't play much beyond high school.
