- Coming over from the Dominican Republic at the age of 14, Felipe Lopez quickly created a buzz around New York City with his exciting brand of basketball -- one that earned him the title “Spanish Michael Jordan.” Lopez went on to become a high school All-American at Rice High School in the Bronx, and was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a college freshmen in 1994. Although his career didn't pan out as many had hoped, Lopez has taken the game of basketball to new heights by reaching the youths of New York’s inner city communities through education and guidance.

The reason I wore #13 in high school and I’m from up north true legend for Spanish community
One of the most exciting H.S players EVER.Played on a strong Rice H.S team.He had alot of skills on the court and the flair to go with it.He just chose the wrong college( St.John's).Should've went to a school where he could've used his uptempo skills, but i think he stayed in NYC because of all the support he received from the Dominican community.
I been saying that since 1996, the pressure was to much and the coach was not the best....duke or UNC would have been better choice
He should’ve just skipped college to the nba
How can you NOT root for this young man?!!!👊
De lo mío. De lo nuestro!
Felipe Lopez's ESPN 30 For 30 Documentary is must see!
Much love for Felipe Lopez. Giving back to the community.
He's a legend in NYC! One of the best players that ever came out from the "Big Apple" Much Love & Respect to a true playground legend!
Was one of the best. Underappreciated at St John's and a very good NBA player
I remember hearing his name alot in Harlem because rice was down
The block from me living in Lenox ave
This dude had game!
Yo vi el programa de ESPN 30x30 de Felipe Lopez y me impacto muchísimo como esta familia se mantuvo unido a pesar de las visisitudes que vivieron en su comunidad. Desde joven su disciplina y su familia crearon un vereda de exito para este joven. Esta es la verdadera historia americana. Su sencillez y siempre pensando de dónde vino hace este especial increible. Las escuelas en América latina deberían de dar la historia de Luis Felipe Lopez. Un sueño hecho realidad. Gracias Felipe por nunca olvidarte de las personas pequeñas. Sigue con tu mission.
The best high school player to come out New York city he could been the number 1 pick in 1994 NBA draft if he woulda come out
That was his big mistake..he should have left to the nba
The Truth!
✨❤️🙌🏽
Kind of looks like Joe Johnson.
Even as a kid I knew it was a mistake for him to go to St John’s because Lou carnaseca was not there .it was a new coach and his center and point guard were lousy. So Felipe would have done better at another established program
Dang he was better than Shaq ....haha

A jail kid named Wally taught him how to play.
