You’ve probably never heard of Lloyd “Swee’ Pea” Daniels or Rafer Alston. Daniels and Alston are two of the greatest playground basketball legends of all time. Alston reportedly had a better crossover than Allen Iverson and was king of New York’s legendary Rucker Park games. Daniels was once called the most talented player from New York City since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Alston and Daniels did have brief NBA careers, but for various reasons, despite being considered the best of a generation, they never quite fulfilled their legend in the pros, or in public awareness.
