Kenny Hutchinson (born December 13, 1963) is an American former basketball player. He emerged as a top college prospect while playing basketball in New York City at Benjamin Franklin High School and Martin Luther King Jr. High School.  While playing at Franklin, Hutchinson was part of a star line-up alongside Richie Adams, Gary Springer and Walter Berry. He won a state championship in 1982 before the school closed down that same year.Hutchinson transferred to King for his final year, where he was named a second-team Parade All-American in 1983. During his high school years, he was an avid streetball basketball player at Rucker Park participating in the Entertainer's Basketball Classic.

Every basket Frank Williams ever scored and every rebound he battled for, in the playgrounds on Long Island and in four years at Fordham University, heightened his vision for a pro basketball career. That dream was shattered last June when 161 players were selected in the National Basketball Association draft and the 6-foot-7-inch Williams was not among them.

The 21-year-old Williams is dreaming again. This time, however, he's hoping for a career in the National Football League, which grew out of his showings at the Giants' and Jets' minicamps and a tryout before a Dallas Cowboy scout.

They all liked my potential, my body, size, speed, strength and agility,'' Williams said the other day. ''I was told that what I lacked was experience and knowledge of the game.''.

The 257-pound Williams is undergoing that learning process now, not with the Connecicut Giants, a semipro team, but back at Fordham, which competes on the Division III level in football.

Williams is learning how to be a defensive end from Larry Glueck, the Rams' coach, who played for the Chicago Bears, and Tom Schaller, the defensive coach. He is also taking a course in business law that will provide him with the three credits he needs for his degree in communications. To maintain full student status, he is also taking an extra tutorial course in urban studies.

Although I thought of myself being among the top 150 basketball players in the country, I know why I was not drafted,'' Williams said. ''In basketball, a lot has to do with reputation. Only the good teams and the players with big reputations get scouted. I was too small to play power forward in the pros and we didn't play well last season. It's not like that in football. It just seems that there are scouts everywhere.''

Williams said he will assess his football progress and decide whether to pursue a pro career.

If I don't make it in pro football,'' he said, ''I'm a college grad; there is Wall Street and maybe a career in song writing. I'm pretty good at it.''

Williams has had two rap songs published: ''Crack Down,'' which deals with drug abuse, and ''All About Me.''

The latter talks about his struggle to make good.

Smith completed his Stony Brook basketball career as the program's all-time leader in points (1,978), a record that held up until the 2015-16 season. He earned the ECAC Metro Rookie of the Year honor in 1989-90 and was the Skyline Conference Rookie of the Year. One year later he was named the Skyline Conference Player of the Year after posting 23.9 points per game in 1990-91. Smith was a three-time Skyline Conference All-Star. Upon his graduation from Stony Brook, Smith served overseas in Germany, Korea and during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom as a Sergeant First Class in the Army.

Through the guidance and coaching of some great men, we went on to be the best basketball players in the world and also survived and thrived in life.

Story by Craig Boothe

The voice has become ubiquitous across Australian media the past three years. It comes across in confident (and, occasionally, arrogant) tones. It makes statements with authority, and shares opinions whether you like them or not.

In just a few years, Corey “Homicide” Williams has transitioned seamlessly from plying his trade on the hardwood to speaking his mind as one of the leading commentators for the National Basketball League (NBL) on SBS Viceland and ESPN Australia/New Zealand. The NBL, Australia’s premier pro basketball league, is looking to establish itself as an attractive sport to mainstream media, and whether you feel like he brings too much of his hometown New York City braggadocio to his broadcasts, one thing is for sure: Aussie hoops fans are tuning in to hear what Homicide has to say.

Five years ago, the NBL was on the brink of collapse until businessman Larry Kestelman came in to turn around the organization’s fortunes in 2015. There was no free-to-air coverage of the sport, crowd numbers were down, and general interest in basketball had dipped from the highs it reached in the mid-1990s, during the golden era of Australian basketball.

Larry understood that the NBL product was entertainment, and entertainment requires entertainers.

There aren’t too many media personalities like Homocide
