The  pick up basketball article below was recently written by Thomas Lake of CNN Digital and it mirrors our league strongly. The Staten Island Basketball League, 45 years young, has provided a highly competitive run since 1980 having had  over 450 players  walk through the gym doors.The league is one of the oldest leagues in New York City.It is  is comprised of players from  many different and distant countries, religions, ethnic backgrounds, various ages ( from 30-75). Gay and straight-black, white, brown and mixed. The common denominator is everyone of the players had been in search of the best consistent high level  pick up game they could find and   we have provided that forum.
