As an ex-streetball player from New York City, who’s played during the 80’s to the present, Dorian “Black Stallion” Graham has seen the game evolve into the corporate magnet that it has become today. But, there is one question that he’s always asked, were there any streetball players after Joe “The Destroyer” Hammond and before Rafer “Skip To My Lou” Alston? And if so, who are they? Asphalt Phenoms of New York City, The Lost Years… answers these and many other questions. With never seen before streetball footage and interviews from the likes of two time NBA Champion and co-host of The NBA on TNT, Kenny “The Jet” Smith to playground legends “The Terminator” and “Sudden Sam”, to the star of UPN’s comedy television sitcom “All of Us” Duane “Shake” Martin, Asphalt Phenoms introduces to the audience the culture of street basketball and what it was really about during the hot summers in New York City from the early 80’s to the late 90’s.
