Re: Norm Van Lier -- Dodger Blue Peacock'61, Monday, March 02, 01:57:50pm [1]
"OT #1"-some great nostalgia in your above post...caught Jimmy Walker with the Friars when they came to the Garden with a large fan following. Thought he might turn out to be the next Oscar Robertson! Providence in the past had two pretty good JC players as you know- Vinnie Ernst (Mr Biddy Basketball) and the great leaper Nehru King. BTW also appreciated your early call on Nick Leon...time was when NYC point guards were to be wished for-i.e. Dick McGuire, Dick Duckett, Frank Alagia, Alan Seiden, et al for SJU, and Tony DeLia and Les Yellin-SFC, Lenny Schnaupoff -Jaspers, and so on and so on---all of old school variety of course- but Lincoln High School sent out Marbury, Telfir,and Leon in the present! Nick has the lineage!! Thanx for your great posts from deep in the heart of Flatbush!!!

Thanks Dodger Blue, let's save Schnaupoff for another day. His high school team (which also featured Larry Lembo) at Bishop Loughlin defeated my high in the finals of the Iona Tournament ('61) by a single point when our second best player arrived late to the game.
As you know both Lenny and Larry went to Manhattan College playing on a great team. Triva about that team. In the first round of the NIT they defeated a team called Texas El Paso by 20 plus points. The next year TEP changed it's name to Texas Western and yes was that team they made the movie about -1966 National Champions.

Yeah the famous Manhattan Weave offense of Kenny Norton-a thing of beauty-designed to free up Lembo, Link or Schnaupoff and sometimes Bobby Chlupsa. Always thought Lembo was the equal of Barry Kramer but The NYU guy got the rave reviews!

Dodger Blue, you got me going on this one. Barry Kramer was a great, great player but somewhere near the end of his junior year he was injured. Believe he broke his ankle. The following year, I agree, Lembo was the better player. Kramer went in the first round of the NBA draft - to the Lakers. The Manhattan College chant in the old Garden was that Larry was better than Barry. Larry Lembo had one of the best jump shots I ever saw - and from deep!
Became better known as a ref but was a great, great player. Didn't know much about Matty Link, was he from Molloy?

Matty was the strong boy of the trio...a mass of muscles at 6:4 off the boards. Not sure of his high school but the three of them played in the old Long Island Press League. Doubleheaders at the Garden that had Fordham vs Manhattan in the 1st Game and St.John's vs NYU in the 2nd were really neighborhood brawls (LOL).REmember the Fordham Section chanting "What the hell"s a Jasper" and Manhattan answering "the hell with Fordham, the hell with the Ram, the hell with Fordham and DAMN THE RAM" Dem were da DAZE!!
