Description:
Rucker Park needs no introduction, located at 155th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard across the road from the Polo Grounds site, in the Harlem neighborhood it is considered by many the Mecca of streetball. Many people who have played at the park achieved a level of fame for their basketball abilities, and several have gone on to play in the NBA. The court itself is named after Harlem teacher Holcombe L. Rucker, who started a basketball tournament in 1950 at the very same court in order to help less fortunate kids stay off the streets and aim for college careers.
