Memories of a young Paul Gripper at 17, managing Philly’s legendary After Midnight Club.
In this clip/ photos, he shares a glimpse of the people, energy, and stories from that time — long before he became the coach who shaped so many lives. 💙🏀

Happy Heavenly Birthday Unk P!
You were a light, a protector, a real one. A coach who did more than just coach—who showed up for people, day in and day out. You gave your time, your love, and your wisdom to the community, and you changed lives just by being who you were.
Your legacy lives on in every person you poured into, and now forever on the walls of this city.❤️
We miss you every day—but today, we celebrate you.🥳🎂🎉
🖤 Love you always. #UnkPForever #PhillyLegend #HappyBirthdayUnkP

When the West Philly mural didn't work out, we kept pushing. With over 1,200 signatures on our petition and a successful application to @ muralarts this tribute to Paul 'Unk P' Gripper is becoming a reality.
Unk P wasn't just a coach- he was a mentor, a father, and a true Philly hoops legend who changed countless lives. Through basketball, he helped young men get scholarships and build better futures. He treated every kid like family and inspired us all with the sacrifices he made.
This mural is more than paint- it's a symbol of love, legacy, and community. Thank you, God- and thank you to everyone!❤️
Join us on 7/27 for the unveiling of a true Philly legend. Forever grateful. #teamgripper #UnkP #PhillyLegend #Boom #Kentucky
