1. Rucker Park
- Location: Harlem, New York City
- Hours: 7am-10pm
Forged in the heart of Harlem, Rucker Park is a basketball cathedral, where asphalt pulsates with history, echoing with the dribbles of Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
It is where playground legends like Earl "The Goat" Manigault and "The Destroyer" Joe Hammond earned their crowns, and where future stars like Kobe Bryant honed their craft.
