High school basketball players from East, Central Tech, and Strong Vincent had the once in a lifetime chance to be coached and mentored by former Knicks stars Allan Houston and Larry Johnson. The special mentoring event took place at the Erie Insurance Arena early Saturday afternoon.

Houston is the BayHawks general manager and used to play with Johnson. Johnson is in town for Affiliate Night at the arena. The BayHawks are an affiliate of the New York Knicks. Johnson was the first overall pick in the NBA draft back in 1991.

Both Houston and Johnson say it was great to come mentor these young athletes. In their mentoring session, the former NBA stars stressed how important it is for the young athletes to stay focused, and to work their hardest in all that they do, both on and off the court.
