The Members of this Board of Directors never forgot that our New York basketball experience played an important role in keeping thousands, perhaps millions of NYC kids from falling by the wayside over the years.

The game took place on our playgrounds, school gyms and after school recreation centers supported by various governmental agencies and organizations. It created heroes for kids to emulate, and then mentors to help guide the course of our lives, on and off the court.

We learned the values of fair play, education, discipline, anger management and found a safe haven from the perils of growing up in the streets of New York.

Therefore, aside from honoring the great men and women who deserve our eternal recognition for their contributions, The Hall is committed to make a contribution of our own, to serve the youth and adults of the New York community that includes health, education and nutrition awareness programs.

NYC All-Star Games involving the PSAL, CHSAA and PSAA teams. National and International travel for select high school players is also on our agenda.

Through social media, an actual physical location, relevant memorabilia, membership participation, community outreach and development ”The New York City Basketball Hall of Fame” has the powerful potential and the dedicated individuals, to revitalize a sense of pride across the entire city and beyond.
