I went to the Anthony Mason Way street renaming ceremony

It was beautiful.

Anthony Mason's family and Queens Councilman Ruben Wills hosted a small, joyous celebration-- the culmination of a vision and the hard work of many united hands. Anthony Mason Way represents the strength of love and perseverance, a dedication to the effort and respect we all need to know where we are and where we're going.

When the great John Starks arrived, he went straight to Mason's grandmother and put his grinning face right up to hers as she lit up, "Ooh!" Clearly one on a huge list of favorites she must have developed over the years.
