ESPN 30 For 30. Familiar old Face is a key part of it. Waliyy Dixon aka “main event”. Had no idea he was a New York street ball legend.
The Greatest Mix Tape Ever

Good watch. So much buzz about Skip back then. Then Tark got his hands on him. Tark put together a super-talented Fresno team, but it didn't really work out for several reasons. I remember they had Skip, they had BC transfer Chris Herron, Cal transfer Tremaine Folkes, 'Cuse transfer Winfred Walton, Larry Abney, Melvin Ely. I mean geez, that team had enough talent to win a Natty. And they were Transfer U. WAY before the portal, ha.
Re: the mix tapes, they were fun to watch back in the day. I remember around the same time they were poppin', I was in NYC near some courts... I forget exactly where but it was in Manhattan, and I walked over to watch a game that was in progress and saw this dude just pullin' up from SILLY far. It was a shorter court and he was taking halfcourt threes like they were nothing. Older cat. Scoring in bunches. So I hung around and waited for the game to end to see if I recognized him and sure enough, boom, it was NYC legend Lloyd Daniels. Pretty sure this was around the time he was a Net or maybe right after. Fun guy to watch in a streetball game, ha. Crazy range.

Waliyy was the first Prop 48 casualty I remember us having.
