I’m a former street baller from back in the day. Played mostly Tillary St, Columbia Street Park. Now looking for a league for my 13 yr old. Not having any luck. Any suggestions?

40 cal is right! My home court Rodney Park!!!… starts last week of this month…is probably one of the best outdoor tournaments in Brooklyn!! Also, dunkers delight in wingate, brooklyn Pro (funsport) and also tillary…But my home court Rodney is like the Brooklyn version of Dyckman…the crowd is ruff and they will talk trash if u don’t show up!!! Big ups to Bio commisioner of Rodney!!!! Talent lik, anti-freeze, mookie, karl sanders, undertaker, homicide, baby shack, bone collector…I can keep goin!!! Its Real out here!!

BROOKLYN GOT RODNEY PARK!! Ok not the best of all places to be in the summer where there is no shade but the comp is allways good, all they need is one good sponser and brooklyn is back.

Every borough deserves to have a tournament as big as Tri-State,H.I.T.S, and so on. I hope one day it happens because it would be great for basketball. If you thing Brooklyn gets no love what about the Q-boro. I’m still a NYC guy and man I love all of our players from all over L.I.,S.I. It’s not about where your from it what you do on the court that brings a great amount of respect and notoriety to your borough. It’s a monster everywhere. Look at Sylven Landesburgh for example. You wouldn’t even know he plays basketball and he’s the goods. Might end up in the league next yr.

Its intresting how lots of people talk about booger and shamgod but personally I think mookie deserves more respect, he has won chips in Nyc for years and overseas in the UK and most recently in the middle east, He is a genuine pg who you could put on a team anywhere and he will help you.

“still got no respect at times?” we all had this discussion last year–when does brooklyn not get the respect it deserves? for real. how can you say that. i’ll have to look up how i responded in ‘08, but Booger and Tillary Park was on the cover of SI, for Bounce Mag more Brooklyn borough players have graced our covers than any other borough (think Lance, Junie, Sebastian and Ethan Telfair, so on), Lincoln HS has taken the last 7 of 8 PSAL chips, SOUL IN THE HOLE doc was all about Kenny’s Kings from Bed-Stuy, on the subject of greatest playground legends of all time it always comes down to joe hammond (harlem) and fly williams (brownsville) . . .

i’m interested to know–when does brooklyn not get respect, randy? can you point out the reasons why you would say that? i’m interested to learn my brother!
