New York’s Best Basketball Players, As Picked by Insiders

No!  Lopez was fantastic in HS and deserves his place amongst the best .. But you could think of at least 10 players who were better all time in NYC . 

Chicago has D Wade. Philly has Kobe. We have Telfair?

Kobe is not Philly, Kobe is lower Marion.  That would be like tossing a kid from preppy Long Island on the list of NYC players.

Not top five but way up there including a final four and starting for multiple NBA championship teams, Satch Sanders.

I think you can safely say Wilt Chamberlin is the greatest high school player ever from Philly

Where is Dr. Julius Erving?  A big miss on their part.

As you know good brother, lists is made to be debated. Plenty of brothers you can alternate on there not least of which is David Edwards, Kenny Satterfield or Omar Cook.

Charles Jones was just straight up godly when he was on.

Dave was a scoring machine.  We could go on and on about really good players. I happen to like Choz's list and one can expand to add guys like Phelps, Bernard even guys like Gordon Winchester who was awfully good in HS.

Forgot to mention Ben Gordon who many hate because he went to Yukon.. But damn he was sick in HS.

But does Westchester count as NYC?

Any list about NYC high school basketball in the last 20 years has to include Lance Stephenson.
