There's never not a game going on at the courts at West 4th Street. People pass by or peer in, hoping to get a glimpse of a present or future great playing at the so-called Cage (named for the smaller-than-regulation courts made by the chain-link fences).

Probably the most famous public basketball court in the city, Rucker Park is notorious for hosting and/or producing serious athletes. How serious? Many who've shot hoops here have gone on to play in the NBA, including Rafer Alston, Allen Iverson, LeBron James, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The park's annual Entertainers Basketball Classic (EBC) tournament is considered to be one of the greatest street basketball tournaments in the world.

The five courts at Pier 2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park offer the best view of any basketball court in the city. As you wait to be subbed in or cheer from the sidelines, you can gaze out at the East River and Manhattan twinkling beyond. (For a real thrill, book one of the covered courts at 9 or 10 p.m.) The park also offers roller skating, handball, and people-watching galore. On Sundays, check out Smorgasburg across the way and fill up at one of the 75+ food vendors.
