West 4th Street officials estimate that their league attracts more than 100,000 spectators each summer, numbers that Rucker Park rivaled only in its heyday during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
West 4th's talent is big, but the court's too small to contain all the flying elbows.
West 4th is the kind of place where it's never too late to dream.

 LoneStar Basketball Academy - Thoughts on the Game #2
I go walking down the street during a lovely summer weekend afternoon, strolling by the legendary West 4th street courts in New York City, or "the cage" as it is affectionately known.
I sit and watch a game going on as, on this shortened court, a kid dribbles the ball down using primarily between the leg dribbles which draws some oohs and aahs from a small crowd of onlookers.
As he gets down across the half court and approaches the top of the key he begins to go into a series of herky-jerky dribble moves probably either palming and or caring the ball a good half dozen times during his routine.
