ABOUT US
The South Florida Basketball Association was founded more than 40 years ago by a group of former New York City basketball players who retired to South Florida. They had a shared legacy; most were poor kids from multi-ethnic communities whose stage and springboard were the local schoolyards. The DNA of the SFBA is a genuine love of a game that served as a gateway to a lifetime of accomplishments. Members have filled up scores of basketball record books and have made an impressive array of contributions in all walks of life.
2025 Legends Luncheon Great Success
The ballroom at Broken Sound Club was filled to capacity with basketball legends, coaches galore, and enthusiasts for The 2025 South Florida Basketball Association Annual Legends Charity Luncheon, which featured Syracuse and NBA great Derrick Coleman, who received the Willis Reed Courage Award, Lenny Wilkens Lifetime Achievement Award recipient West Virginia and Cincinnati coaching legend Bob Huggins, Lou Carnesecca Lifetime Achievement in Coaching Award winner Gil Fershtman and NIL expert and South Florida Man of the Year recipient Darren Heitner. There were also video tributes by Hall of Fame announcer Marv Albert and last year’s Willis Reed Courage Award recipient Israel’s Mr. Basketball Tal Brody.
