The moment that all of New York City has been waiting for is coming next week. Karlton: The Dunkin’ Hines Story, the documentary on the life & times of the late Karlton Hines, a basketball great on the high school scene in the late 1980’s that was an All-City player at Manhattan Center High School in Harlem as a freshman & sophomore and then was a top-flight national prospect at @MCISchool as a junior before transferring out prior to his senior year & later dropping out of Adlai Stevenson High School in The Bronx four months prior to his graduation. Karlton then went on to be a street figure for some time, but later planned on making a comeback to 🏀, as he decided to get out of the drug game and play in the USBL. However, on April 8th, 1994, just as he was turning his life around, he was shot & killed at the age of 23. Karlton’s story is one of triumph & tragedy and one that all aspiring youths need to hear. He was from the Melrose section of The Bronx, Courtlandt Avenue to be specific, the same area where future @NBA draft pick @briskuno, former @StJohnsBBall standout @iamdabronx1523 & rapper @BLovee10 also came from. His story is definitely one for the ages. Go check it out on amazonprime & other streaming platforms next Tuesday, Sept. 8th.
