Tuesday, May 13, 2008 at 10:09AM MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com – New York City, NY. "Allow me to introduce our head Coach; he is an NAACP recipient, All-American athlete, and technologist. Above all, his commitment to community and actively teaching the yough life skills through technology and basketball, with progression towards development of virtual classrooms throughout the South Bronx has deemed him the notary of community legend," stated Anwar Sharhan, co-owner of the ABA NYC Internationalz expansion basketball team that begins play this fall.
