From my friend Fred Bullot: One of The Greatest Sports Documentaries of All-Time !!!!! DOIN IT IN THE PARK : PICK-UP BASKETBALL, NYC © https://youtube/watch?v=dy6vq0Pt8cc Explores the history, culture and social impact of New Yorks summer b-ball scene, widely recognized as the worldwide Mecca of the sport. In New York City, pick-up basketball is not just a sport. It is a way of life. There are 700+ outdoor courts, and an estimated 500,000 players, the most loyal of which approach the game as a religion, and the playground as their church. You can play high school or college for four years. You can play Pro for a decade. You can play pick-up ... for life. DOIN IT IN THE PARK: PICK-UP BASKETBALL, NYC lovingly uncovers this movement through the voices of playground legends, NBA athletes, and most importantly the common ballplayer who all day looks forward to calling next game at their local schoolyard. Co-directors Bobbito Garcia and Kevin Couliau visited 180 courts throughout NYCs five boroughs to create their debut documentary. They traveled to a majority of the locations by bicycle, carrying camera equipment and a ball in their backpacks. The films title refers as much to the subject matter as it does to the method of filmmaking, providing an unprecedented perspective on urban Americas most popular, and accessible, free recreation. Main film characters: Julius Dr. J Erving, Kenny Smith, Pee Wee Kirkland, Fly Williams, God Shammgod, Tim Headache Gittens, Corey Homicide Williams, Kenny Anderson, Jack Ryan, Richard Crazy Legs Colon, Niki Avery, Milani Malik, and the Park Pick-Up Players of NYC.
