"When we reflect on era 1975-1985, we see the greatness of Brooklyn Basketball. It was during a time where there was so much adversity and pain in our daily travels. Through it all we received a gift. A gift that kept on giving, and a gift that keeps on giving. The gift is the Brooklyn Basketball experience. Ball Side Middle is the story of how the gift saved our lives, provided us with opportunity and led us to prosperity both on and off the court.
