Al Cervi
Alfred Nicholas Cervi (February 12, 1917 – November 9, 2009) was an American professional basketball player and coach in the National Basketball League (NBL) and National Basketball Association (NBA). One of the strongest backcourt players of the 1940s and 1950s, he was always assigned to defend against the opposing team's best scoring threat. He earned the nickname ''Digger'' because of his hard-nosed style of defense.〔(Matthews, Bob. "Basketball Hall of Famer Cervi dies at 92," ''Rochester'' (NY) ''Democrat and Chronicle'', Tuesday, November 10, 2009. )〕
==Early life==
Born in Buffalo, New York, Cervi attended East High School in his hometown, where he captained the baseball and basketball teams and achieved All-City honors in both sports. He dropped out of school after his junior year when he was recruited by the Buffalo Bisons of the newly formed NBL.〔(Northrop, Milt. "Basketball Hall of Famer Al Cervi dies at age 92," ''The Buffalo News'', Tuesday, November 10, 2009. )〕 He played in all of the Bisons' nine games in 1937–38, the franchise's only season of existence.〔Shouler, Ken; Ryan, Bob; Smith, Sam; Koppett, Leonard & Bellotti, Bob.

He never attended college. Instead, he served five years in the United States Army Air Forces from 1940 through 1945.〔
