American handball player From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph (Joe) Durso (born 1955 in New York City) is a former professional American handball player.[1][2] At age 47 he made the semi-finals of the 2002 Open Singles National One-Wall Championships.[3] He was most famous for his unique style of play, and his antagonistic attitude towards his opponents as well as spectators. While he certainly had the skills and power to end points early, he would often favor moving his opponents around the court, often "toying" with them, in an attempt to humiliate them and exhibit his superiority.
