Ron Bailey who heads i95ballerz, the premier basketball website in the Balt/DC area, recently profiled the Exchange.  The exposure is well received given that the Balt/DC area has long been a hotbed for basketball talent.  The area has spawned names like Len Bias, Sam Cassell, 'Melo, Adrian Dantley, Mugsey Bogues, Dave Bing, Danny Ferry, Marvin Webster, Skip Wise, Kevin Durant, Mike Beasley, etc.  But my all-time favorite (next to Bias and Cassell) is Ernie Graham, a product of the ACC wars in the late 70's/early 80's.  Legend has it that Albert King (Univ. of Md., NJ Nets) once said Ernie Graham shot the ball so much that in order to get a pass from him, you had to paint a picture of a basket on your chest . . . My man!
