Rucker Park is the Mecca of playground, but I'm unsure of it's location. I assume it's in New York?

In Harlem. Speaking of which, I've been to Venice beach in LA and saw the Globetrotters hanging out. Cool atmosphere.

I wonder what the requirement is to play? I not kidding myself, I know how good those ballers are that play on such courts as Rucker Park, but that still wouldnt stop me wanting to get out there and mix it with them.

I would save myself the embarrassment and just be content to sit back with some beers, watch some freaky play and get p*ssed.

I'm basing this entirely on Die Hard With A Vengeance, but can a white man safely walk down the streets of Harlem, let alone school the inhabitant's asses on the game of hoops?

When I was in NYC we didn't dare go any further than 90th Street, just to be safe.

It depends what is written on your sandwich board.

If i had my copy of the 'In your face basketball book' on me i could tell you all of them(as they were in 1980 anyway) besides the Rucker the only 2 i can remember off the top of my head are West 4th Street and Rockway Park.
