Straight out of the Boogie Down our guest was taught to dribble by one of the most unlikely teachers, his slightly older Greek neighbor. This self proclaimed fire escape All-American, would adjust the height of his building fire escape ladder to accommodate his shooting stroke and dunk game.

At age 11 he was invited by neighborhood homie Orlando Antigua to try out for the Gauchos. He arrived late, missing the age appropriate try-out. With little choice left he ran with the much bigger 16 year olds and made the cut.

He honed his skills and attended St. Raymond H.S. As a freshman, he killed, capturing well deserved attention throughout the city for his performances. In his sophomore year he was promoted to the Varsity squad under Gary DeCesare and blossomed, garnering national attention that ultimately led to him committing to the University of Massachusetts.
