Like a machine. To “ bump” him on court was equivalent to hitting cement wall.

“Does he ever get tired?”
“Never.”

“Does he ever stop running?”
“Never.”

“Does he ever sweat?”
“Never.”

[Jeremy Kullman @jeremykullman]

Will is and always has been an elite rim protector, and he offers much more than that! More importantly he’s a fantastic young man. Some college coach is going to be lucky to have him in their program. Proud to have played a small part in @WillCarty24 journey so far.

-- The EPIC 1969 NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Celtics at The Boston Garden - Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Elgin Baylor - The Celtics repeated as NBA Champions with a 108-106 Game 7 win at The Fabulous Forum - Jerry West was deservedly voted series MVP despite being on the losing side --

DICK & AL McGUIRE
Brothers in the Hall of Fame

The only pair of brothers from the New York City basketball community to ever be enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, are the McGuire Brothers.
Raised in the Rockaway Beach neighborhood of Queens, the older Dick was born in the Bronx and younger brother Al, in Brooklyn.
Dick McGuire was born January 25, 1926, in The Bronx where his parents operated a bar & grill, attended La Salle Academy, an all-boys high school in lower Manhattan.
He was a four-time All-New York City basketball selection graduating in 1943 as WWII raged in Europe. He easily moved to the next level, to play college ball at St. John's University and then to Dartmouth College where he served 2 years in a wartime military training program. He returned to play at St. John's in 1946. The 1st year of the NBA.
Dick McGuire, elected to the Hall of fame in 1993 was a standout player at St. John's. He was a 7-time NBA All-Star point guard for the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons, leading the Knicks to three consecutive NBA Finals in the 1950s.
Dick McGuire passed away on February 3, 2010 at the age of 84 in Huntington, New York.

Brother Al was born September 7, 1928 in Queens, New York, and attended St. John's Prep which was located in Brooklyn at the time, graduating in 1947.

Al McGuire who was elected to The Hall in 1992, played 4 seasons for his hometown NY Knicks from 1951 to 1955, but gained his Hall of Fame recognition for his legendary coaching career, most notably for leading Marquette University to the 1977 NCAA National Championship.
He passed away on January 26, 2001 at the age of 72 in Brookfield, Wisconsin after finally succumbing to a rare blood disease! The spirits of these NYC basketball legends, have left an indelible mark and always seem with us! Never forgotten! May they Rest in Peace!

Hoy cumple 72 años Wally Walker, jugador del que hablo en el libro. Wally Wonderful, apodo que recibió cuando jugaba en la universidad de Virginia, nunca pasó de ser un jugador de rol, pero conquistó 2 campeonatos. Uno en el 77 con los Blazers y otro en el 79 con los Sonics.
