New york street basketball legend: "Goat" earl manigault, it's hard for me to find the video of him playing.
In nba, the myth is Jordan. But no one recognized Jordan in streetball. NBA superstar can look down on streetball, but he can't slander streetball, because maybe he has been kicked into the street. Goat is such a streetball legend. His life is far more exciting than movies. Goat's unique skill-count. Manigault's "goat" is that it can take a coin from the backboard and play in the air. He first stuffed the ball into the basket in the air, then picked it up in the air with his other hand, pulled it back and slapped it again. "Everyone knows Qiao Ba. He is a legend in the NBA. He played in the NBA for more than 20 years, with a total score of over 30,000. He was the first person in the NBA and won the MVP six times in his life. Such a great man has suffered. In his basketball career, there was only one person who admitted to defeating him, and that person was Earl "goat" Manigal-goat Manigal. Who can defeat Jabba on the spot? He comes from Harlem, new york. When he was a child, he was no different from ordinary black children. He wandered around the street all day. He didn't know that he would become the greatest street basketball player. At the age of seventeen, he began his legendary basketball career. He joined the team in the Rock Park to confront some people who later became NBA star players, such as Connie Hawkins (Eagle), Lou Algendorf (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) (Buck → Lakers) and Earl "Pearl" Monroe (Nick), and his nickname goat was acquired at this time. Goats are not very tall, only about six feet, and they are not very strong. On the court, he relies on speed, his changing hands and dribbling, and his flexibility to jump vertically to 52 inches. He has many fascinating stories, which also adds a lot of color to his legend. Like two dunks, after pouring the ball into the basket, catch the ball in the air and stuff it into the basket. This amazing elasticity also made it easy for him to take the coin off the top edge of the backboard, and he dunked on his opponent's head more than once. Once, he made a bet with someone that he wouldn't run backwards for 60 yuan for 36 times. These are nothing. What made him famous in new york was that he set a single-game scoring record in new york High School-52 points. The confrontation between goat and Jabber is even more sensational in new york. 1962 Benjamin Franklin High School led by Goat defeated Power Memorial High School led by Jabbar and won the league championship, which made Jabber call him the best player of this size in new york history. Unfortunately, in his senior year, he was expelled from school for smoking marijuana, and then transferred to Laurinburg College in North Carolina. Although many famous universities wanted him to join, like Duke, his grades were too poor to get a scholarship, so he had to go to Jonhson C. Smith University. But he really couldn't fit into the environment there, so he returned to Harlem. However, in this mixed place, a person is easily destroyed. Sure enough, he was jailed for taking drugs, and then several times. Finally, he finally woke up and promoted grassroots basketball in the once famous bullring, so that young people had a place to go, instead of just fooling around in the street. 1May, 99816th, he passed away, and his legendary life came to an end. Some people say that Michael Jordan is the greatest player in history. Although the legend of goat can only be seen in books or passed on by word of mouth, it is no exaggeration to say that goat is the greatest player who has never played in NBA. Street basketball originated in America. This sport doesn't need to be played on a formal basketball court. In the city square or street, open up a flat hard ground half the size of a basketball court and set up a basketball stand to play. In recent years, three-player basketball has been introduced to China and played many times in some large and medium-sized cities, which is very popular. When it comes to street basketball culture, we can't help mentioning West 4th Street in Manhattan and Rucker Park in Harlem, new york, which have created many heroes and myths of street basketball. Earl manigault is one of the legends. He can easily get a 25-point from the top of the backboard, and his quick dribbling and cutting make opponents hard to defend. He can easily beat NBA superstar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who is only 6 feet 2 inches tall. Since then, earl manigault has been called [the greatest player who has never played in the NBA]. However, due to the influence of street hooligans and drugs in the United States, many street players can't join the NBA even with the best strength, so they can only finish their basketball career on the street. Because of this, street basketball can be passed down from generation to generation, and every street player has his own unique style and skills to win the recognition and respect of the audience. Hot sauce may be the most popular street player in 2 1 century, because he created many new tricks to make street basketball more ornamental and entertaining. If you can watch him play with your own eyes, you will really understand that street basketball is not just a sport, but an art, which will make you feel the shock brought by street basketball. 1944- 1998 maybe not many people in China know about him, because there is no way to get in touch with these street basketball experts who are going deep into American cities. He is the legendary god of street basketball, who once enjoyed the street view in new york. His real name is earl manigault. If you really want to know about street basketball, then maybe you can learn a lot about "goats". There is such a book called "Sweeping the Legends of Playgrounds such as Peas". " "Pea" is Daniels' nickname. Based on Daniels, this book introduces the legendary street basketball in New York. I just opened the preface of this book, and I was shocked and finally had to read it. The preface reads like this: "One day, two old fans were chatting in the basketball and tennis hall in New Jersey. When the visiting team walked out of the retired star point guard robertjoseph cousy in the Celtic lounge, one of the old fans opened his voice and said,' Isn't this the second greatest basketball player in the history of Andrew Jackson High School in new york? Cousy, who has been selected into the "Hall of Fame", looked back with suspicion and some unhappiness and asked,' The second greatest? Then who is the greatest? Old Ball said disdainfully,' You must have heard the name of lloyd daniels! Former NBA star Cousy is not as good as Daniels? The preface alone stunned me. Who is Daniels? What's so weird about street basketball in new york that even NBA stars eat other things? This book fascinated me with street basketball in new york, and I made up my mind to go to new york one day if I had the chance to experience the street basketball story described in the book. Jayson Willaims, a former Nets center from new york, once said: "The most boastful players in the world are the so-called' street basketball legends' because they only played in their neighbors' homes, and there are no statistics on offensive and defensive matches. Who knows their real skills and performance? They are a group of over-mythical people. " Williams, I only agree with half of them. Yes, their performance is sometimes exaggerated, but in the eyes of ordinary people, who cares about distant NBA stars? They only believe the street basketball heroes they witnessed, and these street basketball heroes have many legendary stories that beat NBA stars out of the water. These talents are their heroes, and they are also the topic they talk about after dinner every day. And I was deeply attracted by these legends. Every day, the NBA is long and short, which is boring enough. For example, I am used to watching the same serious news, and occasionally I have to watch some gossip news for a change. It is also very interesting to read more rigorous official history and occasionally look at some unofficial history and anecdotes circulated by the people. However, if we want to talk about the British legend of street basketball in new york, we should start with 1960, earl manigault, a famous street basketball player in new york in 1970s, Daniels, a street basketball player in new york in 1980s, and Rafer Alston, the most representative male deer in new york in 1990s. NBA superstar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar once called Goat "the greatest player who has never played in the NBA". This sentence is good or bad for "goat" because his basketball talent is rare in a hundred years. However, due to a trip to new york's "Black Street" by mistake, he was unable to enter the NBA from beginning to end, and even failed to set foot in college basketball. Finally, his legendary basketball career ended in tragedy. Anyone familiar with Jabbar's life knows that he is an arrogant giant and his basketball career is invincible. Why is there such praise for a street basketball player? Because Qiao Ba was defeated by a goat, he knew exactly what a goat could do. To defeat Qiao Ba, who is 7 feet 2 inches, the "Giant Killer" should be at least as tall as Qiao Ba, like wilt chamberlain, or stronger than Qiao Ba. For example, moses malone is neither as tall as Qiao Ba nor as tall as Qiao Bazhuang, and he is only 6 feet 2 inches.
