As the New York Wizards continue to strive towards their ultimate goal in the EBA, a Championship, their community service and volunteering efforts have assisted others in reaching the championship level! In the summer of 2009 a friendship between Wizards Guard Greg Cerillo Jr. and Clinton Brown III resulted in the Wizards appearing at the 2009 Little People of America National Conference in Brooklyn NY. The Wizards were a huge hit! Much like many conferences the Wizards and their players exchanged contact information with many present, in particular local DAAA (Dwarf Athletic Association of America) basketball team and General Manager Clint Brown of the NY Towers, and all promised to stay in touch. Greg contacted me within about a week after the 2009 conference Stated Clint Brown III of the NY Towers We talked for awhile and found out we have a lot in common. It was during this conversation that Greg asked what he could do to help us. We finished 3rd at the 2009 DAAA Championships and all every player wanted to do was win a championship. Greg was a former NJCAA National Champion and a basketball instructor and we knew he would know exactly what we could do to win. A practice was soon arranged, which turned into several practices, and the NY Towers soon had a structure and foundation, which matched their work ethic and desire. Greg Cerillo Jr. showing up to our practice to help coach our players was a step towards our ultimate goal Stated Clint Brown It is rare indeed that a professional player is so willing to give of his time. In addition to being a great player Greg is a great guy The fruits of the NY Towers efforts can be seen in the below photo. Congratulations to the NY Towers who recently won the 2010 DAAA National Basketball Champions. I was glad to be recognized as any part of the success that the NY Towers have had this season Stated Greg Cerillo Jr. Truly though it is the efforts of Clint Brown and his team which secured this championship. Their story is inspirational to me and I certainly will share it with my teammates this year in our quest to accomplish what the Towers have accomplished.
