In this week’s “Conversations with Clayton,” I had the pleasure to talk with Bill Campion, a living legend of New York basketball. Born and raised in the Bronx, Campion starred at Rice High School in Harlem, one of the historic juggernauts of New York City high school ball. The small Catholic high school, which closed in 2011, produced the likes of Kemba Walker, Felipe Lopez, Dean Meminger, and Cincinnati Bearcats great Kenny Satterfield.
After starring at Rice, the 6’10 Campion went on to become one of the greatest big men in the history of Manhattan Jaspers basketball.
