I want to take this opportunity to thank its Board of Directors for selecting me and my brother for induction. I also want to congratulate my fellow inductees and thank New York State Senator Cordell Cleare for attending and for the much appreciated Proclamation. Finally, thanks to my family and friends who attended or offered congratulations.

Hello McKinley Rush. Thanks again to you and your wife for attending the induction ceremony.
Congratulations to all of the other2023 inductees as well. My daughter did an excellent job of reducing portions of the induction ceremony to print. I also want to thank the Board of Directors of the Real Harlem Basketball Players, Inc for inducing me and my brother the late Luther “Sally” Green and to New York State Senator Cordell Cleare for attending and for the awesome Proclamation.

Hello John “Pippy” Battle. We truly grew up together, as we lived in the same apartment building and were close childhood friends. Indeed, a lot of memories. We absolutely have a lot to be grateful for. Blessings to you and yours my friend.

Hello Charles Reed. We played together some 52 years ago. How time flies.It’s been awhile since we’ve seen one another. I think it was at a CIAA Tournament but I don’t remember the exact year. Thanks for the wonderful comments and comparison. I hope all’s well with you and yours. Take care and blessings!
