In New York there are a number of sports groups. There is the New York Urban Professionals Athletic League with 2500 teams in basketball and men's, women's, and co-ed volleyball. But this isn't that group. There's the NYC Basketball League which the founders Ben and Josh say is the best. Nope not them. Also the New York Knicks Corporate league, which has basketball, volleyball, softball, indoor soccer, and dodge-ball. On opening day of the Corporate basketball league they had 32 teams playing. Not them either. Now there are others leagues but they all play in gyms with refs and probably some gator aid.
This is the West Fourth Street "Streetball" amateur basketball tournament. Founded by Kenny Graham, a limousine driver, it has carved its own place in asphalt history. Among the "graduates" are Dr. J. Walter Berry, Jayson Williams, Anthony Mason, and Smush Parker. West 4th street's talent is big but the court is too small to contain all the flying elbows. Hence, its other name.
The Cage.
