Not sure what to say?

My favorite basketball player- thank you for those sweet memories. Please, someone tell me why there hasn´t been a movie based on "Foul" or any screen adaptations done to tell the world about what a great human being and ultra-talented athlete, the Hawk -the preeminent dunker-bball legend of his day, of any day - NY City´s #1 schoolyard legend ( sorry to Helicopter & the GOAT). Peace, love, and happiness Cary (Flushing, Queens hometown - love those schoolyard courts)

Great Great ballplayer. A legend among legends

I live on Tompkins ave around the corner from Boys High I seen Connie outstanding Brother and Great Player

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I met Connie at a late 90s Phoenix Suns Tip Off party. It took me years to realize who I'd met as I was just a kid. I regret not speaking to him even more that day as I would have loved to hear stories! RIP Connie. I'm so sorry to your family and friends to have lost you

I will never forget his quiet and majestic spirit. Every Christmas Eve was the highlight of his life as we all get together and celebrated with our parents and huge family. He didn´t have to speak. His beautiful persona and electric smile spoke a million words of love. I will always love you Connie. Kiss Mom and Dad for me hug uncle Leon and tell everyone we will see y´all on the other side your Sis-in- love. Gail
