Corey Fisher
A new streetball legend is born. Corey Fisher was a third team All-BIG EAST selection in 2009-10 and returns as one of the Wildcats’ key leaders as a senior in 2010-11. The basketball world is buzzing with reports of Bronx bred college basketball star Corey Fisher’s jaw-dropping 105-point game at a playground in his home borough. Fisher averaged 13.3 points per game for Villanova.
Though the feat wasn’t videotaped, attendees of the Dyckman Park Basketball game at Watson Gleason Playground last Saturday confirm that the Villanova University guard torched his semipro opponents.
“At the end of the third quarter, I had 71 points,” Fisher told the Daily News yesterday. “I was pretty tired. But I kept pushing. I continued to score and score.”
Fisher’s performance bests by five points what is believed to be the previous record, set in 1978 by the legendary Fly Williams in Jamaica, Queens.
He now ranks among such streetball icons as Earl “The Goat” Manigault and Nate “Tiny” Archibald, said Dyckman Park Basketball program supervisor Isaiah Brown, who saw the game, put on by Dyckman Youth Enterprises.
“Fisher’s tally has to be a streetball record,” said Brown.

Corey Fisher Sets Streetball Record
“I didn’t think nothing of it,” he said.
The 6-foot-1 senior hit a deep three-point shot to open Saturday’s 40-minute game and never looked back, said Brown.
“Everybody knew Corey would have a big night. But nobody knew it would be as big as it was,” he said.
As Fisher heated up, his Bronx fans turned up the volume.
“He was the hometown hero,” said Brown. “As soon as he got to 99, the crowd started to go bonkers.”
Fisher was closely guarded throughout, said Brown. He beat a defender on a crossover dribble to make the game’s final shot.
To whom Ever This May Enlight,
I’ve heard and seen around that Corey fisher 105 points breaks a record? “WHAT”.It’s been a month since then and I hope Corey Fisher enjoyed it. News break,”it’s not the record Corey Fisher and to all you believers”. In 1983 in a league called Upward Fund, Ronald “Terminator” Matthis scored 107 and he did it when there was no 3 point line, yes!!! He also holds the record in BRC Brownville Recreation Center too, 86 points. He quoted, “no Diss to Fly Williams”, who they say holds the record . The Terminator led the nation in scoring at palm beach, JC and has more championships in Rucker Park. Call it whatever league you want, the Stats are there. When Term got his 107 points he hit no 3′s but had at least 15 dunks and gave the crowd a ExtraOrdinary Show plus 1 point the old fashion way with a foul after a basket, he didn’t even call the foul for 1 as he shot. Be it street basketball or not, give credit where credit is due! Yes, be true to the street players too! They work hard so fix this. Ronald Matthias, people know him as “Term” is the record holder!!! So Corey If you
