Isaiah Whitehead and Archie Goodwin almost got a little too close for comfort Saturday night.
The pair sat next to each other on the bus en route to The Franchise Classic rain site, the South Bronx Job Corps, before exchanging trash talk and getting tangled up near the end of the first half of the all-star game, which pitted the top players in New York City against highly touted athletes from around the country.
Goodwin, an electric, 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Little Rock, Ark., drilled a 3-pointer in the Lincoln star’s face with 50 seconds left in the first half and barked at Whitehead while making hand gestures.
Goodwin ended up with 46 points and was named the MVP for Team USA. Whitehead finished with 16 points and his Team NYC won, 146-138. He said everything was cool afterward and he enjoyed riding on the opposing team’s bus after a driving rain hit Col. Young Park in Harlem, the original site of the game.
Goodwin said he had an equally good time in New York. He and his teammates have been here since Thursday and they got to see Ground Zero and the Apollo Theater along with New York City streetball staples Rucker Park and Dyckman.
