Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 7, 2022 Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday – Top 200 Hoopsters, Part 2 By Peter F. Levine T ime for Part 2 of my top 200 basketball players in the history of my life while living and playing basketball in best hoop city in the Commonwealth – Malden! This is by no means a definitive list. I’ve got great memory recall, but Father Time has diminished my ability to think on my feet as quickly as I did in the past. These are ballplayers that I have played with, and against, in my lifetime. If I have played with or against you and have excluded you or made a glaring error, please let me know and we’ll rectify that after I have carefully examined all the facts. They all have lived in Malden at one point in their lives or were born and raised here. The list is in no particular order. Joe wasn’t the best I ever played with/against (close though) and number 200 (Joe Frauton) was not the worst. Again, if I did not play against or with you in those glorious hoop days of yesteryear, that is why you aren’t mentioned here. Again, please take into account this is a list of players from my era. The ’64 MHS State Champ team would not be included. Never played with Law Offices of Terrence W.

She “floats like a butterfly, and stings like a bee” and her motto during her hard-fought Ward 8 City Council victory (another Ali gem) was “If you even dream of beating me you’d better wake up and apologize.” Her name is Jadeane Marie Sica and she is once again representing the good people of Ward 8.
