With school back in session, I always have flashbacks to when I was 14 years-old and a freshman in high school.
It started at Power Memorial. But it only lasted two, maybe three days.
I hated school. Basketball was the only reason I attended Power. The Panthers were a powerhouse back in the day. We all know about Kareem Abdul-Jabber (during his high school days he was known as Lew Alcindor). As a 12 year-old I first saw Eddie Moss running the point and big Larry Petty in the pivot playing in the King tournament at St. Thomas in Flatbush. I knew I wanted to put on the purple and Gold. Later on Chris Mullin would attend Power for his freshman and sophomore years. But it never worked out for me. Oh well…
