Rafer Alston came out of Jamaica Queens as one of the city’s best streetball players. Blessed with amazing ball handling and dribbling ability, “Skip to My Lou” was a pioneer and huge influence behind the “AND1” company and their streetball videos. After only one season of D-1 college hoops, Alston struggled to find playing time at the NBA level before finding homes in Miami and Houston & success. Alston was even a key contributor and starter on the Orland Magic’s run to the NBA Finals in 2008-2009. While his career ended abruptly, his influence on the game & ability to rise from streetball to the NBA was remarkable.
