滿分聯賽/DYCKMAN. 8 THINGS I LEARNED ABOUT NYC STREETBALL

Full disclosure: even though I lived in New York backintheday (‘98/’99) and even played ball in the streets of New York, up until this July I’d never actually watched a basketball game in New York. The Knicks? First off, I hate ’em. I hated them in the Patrick Ewing/John Starks era, rooted (briefly) for them as an underdog in the short-lived Sprewell era and they’ve been pretty much irrelevant ever since.*
* Yeah, yeah, Carmelo. As for Brooklyn – the Nyets? Seriously? Maybe this year; maybe…
(English continued after Chinese)
提起紐約，或者當年的hip hop風光不再，但紐約街頭籃球的王者霸氣至今依然未減。
利申：雖然我在紐約住過一會兒（1998－1999），又打過一陣街頭籃球，但是我其實沒有真正看過一場籃球賽。你想應該有看過the Knicks吧? 不要開玩笑，我討厭這支球隊，除了因為它的影響力小之外*，我也討厭Patrick Ewing/John Starks擔正的年代，我只算是勉強支持過苟延殘喘的Sprewell年代，就這麼多而已。
*我知道，我知道有Carmelo。所以你說要去看布魯克林the Nyets?你還在開玩笑嗎？好吧，或許今年去，又或者…不會。
總之，雖然我住的紐約有Rucker和其他數不盡的街頭籃球聯賽（例如：布魯克林的Soul in the Hole, 西四街的The Cage, 因伍德的Dyckman），但是我從來沒有見識過為人津津樂道的熱血街場比賽。於是在上個週末，我決定是時候要去長見識了。
我本來打算去哈林的Rucker Park, 可惜來得不是時候，沒有碰上比賽－－誰都想免掉查找聯賽比賽場次的功夫啊。不過也沒關係，我轉去有著街籃傳奇Bobbito Garcia的Dyckman街籃聯賽，剛好碰上了星期五晚上演的兩場高中比賽，分別是：L-Pac 對 Mookie’s All Stars, 以及Team Dyckman對10th Avenue。
來到哈林，如果你和我一樣是個「sneaker痴」，就別忘了去Footlocker House of Hoops的分店朝聖，搶一雙剛推出的人氣鞋作Rondo Christmas PE Hyperposites，來個完整的紐約籃球體驗。[https://www.facebook.com/pages/HOUSE-OF-HOOPS-HARLEM-NEW-YORK/296798495932]
