So, who got jobbed?
That’s the obvious follow-up to any kind of list, isn’t it? My list of Top 50 City League boys basketball players concluded today with the Top 10, and as I’ve written all along, some really good players were left off the list.
Who might they be?
I’m glad you asked. I have put together a list, although I’m sure are players who will be inadvertently and wrongly left off the left-off list. That’s just how lists go.
