Hope, and Basketball/Baltimore Boys Documentary, Former Editor
and Chief of The Shadow League

On today’s Episode we are continuing our deep dive into the
book and documentary about the legendary high school basketball
team The Dunbar Poets. Our guest today Alijandro Danois
chronicled this team in his book  The Boys of Dunbar and was
in the documentary follow up Baltimore Boys. This corner of
Hardwood History helps tell the story of basketball and
basketball culture that we all enjoy today. It is also an
American story and helps explain the difficulties of post
industrial cities and the game that helped some boys escape these
difficult circumstances. Let’s get into it. 



Georgetown Hoyas Gear - You can walk the streets of Baltimore
like the Dunbar legends or just look good in this gear.

Wake Forest Gear - Not quite Mugsy but he would be proud of
these.

The Boys of Dunbar - Read or Listen to the book you won't be
dissapointed



SLAM 5 Star - Ali wrote many of the columns in the magazine. The
Mugsy story alone is worth purchase.

Baltimore Boys - The documentary covers some of the stories from
the book but is more of an extension of the subject matter.
