A street in South Jamaica, Queens will be renamed to honor Knick legend and fan favorite, Anthony Mason. This is a distinguished salute for a wonderful man that left us much too soon. This February 28th will actually mark a year since his passing.
Speaking of passing, he sure could dish for such a mighty fella. Mason made such a massive imprint on the Knicks teams I grew up with. A relentless competitor and oh-so crafty ball player. Those lefties, boy, hard to guard! Anthony is currently fast breaking through the universe and pump-faking planets but now you'll always be able to visit him on 147th Street between Rockaway Boulevard and 123rd Avenue after the City Council voted to rename 42 streets in the city.
