Real Facts: Al Nuness Was The 1st Maywood NBA Pro Star

It's really a special honor for me to share this information with all Maywoodians. I attended Washington elementary school with Al Nuness in the 1950's. He has always been a self directed kind of guy and we all thought of Al as a good guy. In fact, I remember when Al Nuness, Ronnie Gwen, Rev.Edward Howard were household names on the basketball court,just as modern basketball as we know it, was coming into focus.

Al was always a top student, regular guy and a maywoodian original. He was the first Maywood basketball star to play in the Big Ten on T.V. as well. More importantly and a fact,this is truly unique in anyone's book.

Albert 'Al' Nuness was the first basketball player from Maywood to be drafted into the NBA.

Al is Vice President of Sports/ Sales...Jostens - 5501 American Blvd.
