A 2012 graduate of Keystone College, Malcolm Boone established himself as one of the most dominant and impactful players in the history of the Giants men's basketball program during his four-year career from 2008-09 through 2011-12. A force on both ends of the floor, Boone combined scoring, rebounding and elite rim protection to become one of the defining players of his era.
Boone capped his career as a First Team All-CSAC selection and member of Keystone's prestigious 1,000-point club, finishing with 1,074 career points and 683 rebounds. He also left his mark defensively, graduating as the program's all-time leader in blocked shots with 206 while ranking among the program's career leaders in rebounds and free throws made.
As a senior captain, Boone helped guide the Giants to the program's first CSAC Championship Game appearance. Throughout his career, Keystone qualified for the conference playoffs in all four seasons, advancing to the semifinals twice before reaching the championship game in his final season. During that championship run, Boone delivered one of the finest performances in program history, recording 24 points, seven rebounds and seven blocked shots against eventual NCAA Division III National Championship runner-up Cabrini.
Boone's impact extended beyond the court. A respected leader, teammate and student, he received the N. Scott Thurston Award, recognizing excellence in academics, leadership and character.
Following graduation, Boone continued his basketball career professionally in Germany before turning his focus to empowering others through health, wellness and personal development. He is the founder of Breathing is Freedom LLC, an organization dedicated to helping individuals improve their physical and mental well-being through breathwork and wellness education. Boone was also inducted into the Warwick Valley High School Hall of Fame in 2020.
