SportsGrid Q&A with Kenny Anderson: On Being a NYC Point God, NIL, Final Four

As a school-boy star at Archbishop Molloy High School in Queens, New York, Kenny Anderson captured the heart of the Big Apple and donned the back page of local newspapers when that was a big deal. After becoming the first four-time All-City star, Anderson went to Georgia Tech, where he led the Yellow Jackets to the Final Four. The second pick in the 1991 NBA Draft by the New Jersey Nets, Anderson would go on to a 14-year career, including an All-Star selection in 1994. He’s currently the head coach at Fisk University in Tennessee.

The New York City legend is also the subject of the upcoming documentary, NYC Point Gods, which spotlights many of the stars at the point guard position bred in the City who would go on to impact the game of basketball and the sport’s culture.
