“When I can no longer hit the open
jumper and can’t keep up with the
guys I’m playing with, then I’ll know
it’s time to hang up my sneaks —
although I can’t imagine a time that I
won’t at least play in the backyard with
my kids and grandkids,” he said.

And Gilbert is helping the next genera-
tion of basketball players, serving as a volunteer
coach at John Bartram High School in Southwest Philadelphia.

Head to Head
Like Sherman and Edelstein, Dabrow and Gilbert squared off
against each other recently, with Dabrow’s team pulling out a 61-
58 win that went down to the final seconds. As might be expected,
both players figured into the game’s ending.

Thanks to a couple three-point shots, Dabrow helped his team
build a 16-point lead a couple minutes before the end of the first
half, but it was all downhill from there.

The team’s defense got sloppy and let the opposition back into
the game in the second half. Dabrow and company managed to
regain a three-point lead in the final minutes and had the ball with
nine seconds left. An inbounds play designed to get the ball down
the court to a teammate failed when Dabrow’s pass went long,
giving the opposition a chance to tie.

On the final play, Gilbert was able to break free behind the

game out of reach. Bruce Gilbert is to the left.

three-point line, but his off-balance shot hit the rim and bounced
away. One final shot by a teammate fell short, ending the game.

On this day, Dabrow walked away bruised but victorious, but
he, Gilbert, Edelstein and Sherman all could be considered
winners as they got their sweat and left uninjured — and ready for
the next game. l
