Stan Felsinger, a 6-foot guard from Brooklyn, New York, was the team leader for Columbia University in all three of his varsity seasons.
When Stan showed up to play basketball, anywhere, it was "the day the circus came to town." A circus that featured The Flying Felsinger as the main attraction. He was a human dynamo with a non-stop motor.
Stan was at his most effective when he was in motion, and he played basketball as though the law of gravity did not apply to him. He was a highlight film unto himself, and his performances on the hardwood court were always worth the price of admission.
His outside jumper was most accurate when he was stopping on a dime after being in full flight. He could hit it from any spot on the floor, or from any angle, no matter how impossible the trajectory. And no matter how many opponents were draped all over him. In traffic or all alone, Stan was the very definition of deadeye.
Stan had a fantastic sense of timing and a built-in gage of space. He instinctively knew how much room he needed to maneuver, and if that space did not present itself, he created it by whirling around like a dust devil until something opened up.
Most teams had a point guard to handle the ball, and a shooting guard to handle the scoring. Stan played both positions, and played them in the same game at the same time.
He was an expert ball-handler and director of traffic, and he was lightning fast. Combining that speed with his incredible shake-and-bake moves, he was expert at opening up the defenses for himself and his teammates.
He had excellent court vision and knew where every teammate was and where they would be going. He was always alert to pass to an open man for an easy score, or if need be, take advantage of a scoring opportunity himself. If no opportunity presented itself, Stan was the man who could create that opportunity on the fly.
Some basketball players are rough, and some basketball players are tough. Stan Felsinger was rough and tough. He never avoided contact, and in fact seemed to relish it. He intimidated opponents with his physical style, and if anyone wanted to try the same tactics on him, Stan was most willing to play that game.
He never backed down, no matter what the size of the opponent. This was something he learned on the schoolyards of Brooklyn, New York., where "no forgiveness" basketball was invented. And that was the style that Stan liked best.
It was the contact, emotion, and acrobatics that distinguished his game. His style was "never-say-die." He never gave up on a drive, no matter how many opponents he had to go through, and a play was never over until Stan, or his team, no longer had possession of the ball.
Stan Felsinger led Columbia is scoring as a sophomore with a 21.1 points per game average. He was chosen All Ivy as a junior and senior. He was chosen New York City All Metropolitan three consecutive years, and as a senior he an Honorable Mention All America.
Stan played on the Gold Medal winning USA basketball team in the 1965 Maccabiah Games held in Israel.
After his college career he played professionally in the Israeli Basketball League.
