Reggie Lewis in Boston and Baltimore

Driving through Dorchester (a neighborhood of Boston) this Winter and I saw this sweet Reggie Lewis memorial mural. My father used to take me to see Reggie when he was filling it up for Northeastern University. Later, when I attended N.U. myself and Reggie was balling for the Celtics, he'd often be around playing pickup games at the long-gone courts on Huntington Ave. Those courts, like Reggie, are missed.

This court is just around the corner from Dunbar High in Baltimore, where Reggie went to school and played alongside fellow future NBA-ers Mugsy Bogues, Reggie Williams and David Wingate. Not a bad squad.
