Once a key piece of the New York Nets, and then the New York Nets once they made their move to the NBA, Al Skinner has continued to pursue his passion for the game and is doing what he can to instill it into the up and coming players in today’s game.
While it may not feel like it, it was over 40 years ago that Skinner was just a young player coming up through the game in Mount Vernon, New York.
As the years went on, his talent began to shine and before long he was receiving interest from schools all around the area.
