At 6-foot-2, Gerry McNamara, who calls himself just “a skinny little white kid who takes pride in working hard,” is a hero in the working-class town of Scranton, Pennsylvania.
McNamara, or “G-Mac” as he is fondly known in his hometown, has been collecting fans since he played for a Pennsylvania State basketball championship back in eighth grade. In high school he played for the state championships three times and won it once. As a freshman at Syracuse University, he was an integral part of the team that brought the university its first NCAA basketball championship.
