KD is 100% baller. No And1 cr@p, no sick nicknames...just put the gdam ball in the gdam hoop. :thumbsup:

It's not exactly against an nba defense, but there's nothing like impressing an insane Rucker park crowd.

Btw, his first visit to Rucker Park.

That defense left him wide open in that same shooting spot 3 times o_O

Not saying it wasn't amazing hitting 4 3-pointers in a row though, I'm just surprised they let him run with it.

This vid is about KD as well as the crowd. If you analyze the defense, you're missing it. ;)

Besides, get up on a KD 25' shot in Rucker Park, and foul him, you'll probably be thrown out and never seen or heard from again. :D

Is this one of those "Come watch KD and stay out of trouble" kind of things for all the thugs in the inner-city? Or is it just because KD was bored and thought he would own all the little amateur guys?

I guess since nobody will be playing next year the NBA will be out there pwning everyone

Dude, I am a white guy who can't dribble from Seattle who has never been east of the Mississippi (ex. FL) and I know of Rucker Park. It is like the mecca of streetball.

Thanks, I knew of it too. Harlem covers a big area. I was looking for something like this:

It is located at 155th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard across the street from the former Polo Grounds site.

Not to mention the caption on the video is
"Catches Fire in Harlem"

I've never heard of Rucker Park and that link takes me to an internal firewall page since youtube is blocked at work so I can't see a caption.

It was a legitimate question.

My apologies.
