Synopsis
On the corner of 155th and Frederick Douglas Boulevard in Harlem lies Rucker Park. By appearances, the concrete pavement, anchored on one side by its run down slab bleachers, is no different than any other basketball court in the city, but this is the place where nicknames are indelibly branded, and legends are born.

On September 1, 2006, the top 24 high school basketball players in the nation stepped out on this court, that once saw the likes of Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Dr. J to compete in the first annual “Elite 24â€

Just saw this at Angelika. Pretty good - you probably need to like hip hop b/c the music is throughout. Beasley seems like an immature child..

This was 2006, so it's interesting to see where they are now..Brandon Jennings didn't do well academically -- going to Europe
