this linked article is about some of the great Washington DC playground players
a lot of the focus is on a player nicknamed
Chicken Breast
the legend of Chicken Breast is somewhat similar to the Goat's
I'm from DC and got to see this amazing player on the playgrounds a few times
but the most amazing playground player I ever saw was
Superman
nobody knew his real name
he wasn't really a great player
but he was this big, muscular guy with huge calf and thigh muscles
he was only about 5'11'
Superman stood under the basket and grabbed rebounds or received passes into the post
then he would jump up from a standstill and easily dunk in heavy traffic
he was like a mini Wilt Chamberlain
it was astonishing
the writer of this article is very gifted and really knows playground basketball
it is by far the best article of its kind that I have ever seen
