    Rucker Park

    2002–2003

    Holcombe Rucker Park, which ABC7 calls the heart and soul of New York City basketball, is also entrenched in hip-hop culture. In 2003 the Rucker teams of Jay-Z and Fat Joe both reached the finals, per ABC7. Nas stops at the court in his 2002 video for “Made You Look”, per Time Out.
