I've only heard stories about Earl "the Goat" Manigault, and of course, seen the movie.

Has anyone here actually seen him play?

Nope. But the movie was pretty good. Was it HBO?

Yep it was an HBO Special that I recall watching years ago (1996) and it stars non other than Iron Man 2's Don Cheadle (who is building quite impressive stats).

It was a great movie...have it on DVD. The Goat is still revered on the streets of Harlem as probably the greatest player ever in New York City.

By the way, he was in high school in the late '50s. Chances are quite slim that anyone on this board has seen him play.
