OT - Baltimore Boys

[Ed Pinkney]

Did anyone watch this ESPN documentary yet? I don't have access to ESPN so don't have access to it unfortunately but since Reggie is pretty much my all time favourite Celtic I am pretty keen to watch it at some stage. Just wondering if it was any good.

Caught the last 2/3 of it the other night. It was pretty good. Goes from their high school days all the way through their pro careers. Focused a lot toward the end on Reggie. Pretty objective piece I would say. Nothing groundbreaking for anyone who knows the story.

I watched it. Not one of the better ESPN documentaries but certainly worth the time. I never knew (or more likely forgot) that Reggie never started in High School. He definitely turned into the best player of the bunch.

The best HS team ever may have been the 1970 team at Archbishop Molloy in Queens which went 35-0 with Brian Winter, Kevin Joyce and Kevin Raftery and coached by the legendary Jack Curran.

Kenny Smith and Kenny Anderson also played at Molloy. So did Lou Carnesecca (who also coached there) and Jim Larranega (Jay's father).

Oak Hill has had some great teams, but that's a basketball academy, not a regular HS like Molloy or Dunbar.
