DVD Reviews of The Real: Rucker Park Legends
DVD Review: Excellent Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary might very well be the best work ever done on inner city basketball. From former pro legends like Kareem Jabbar, Dr J, and Connie Hawkins to underground legends such as Earl (the Goat) Manigault & Joe (the Destroyer) Hammond.
I met "The Goat" in the late 70s when I was playing with the Bronx Gaucho's in the "Goat" tournament. The "Goat" was refing at the time. Meeting the Goat was like meeting royalty; like meeting the King of a Nation (honestly).
I remember seeing Joe play in a tournament where he hit 30ft bank shots all day and tapped dunked sitting on someones back. This documentary not only introduces the Holcombe Rucker story but it tells the story of the Harlem Rens and other basketball icons of the 1930s Harlem Renaissance. Interviews with Hammond, Hawthorne Wingo, Dr J, Kareem and the old timers were superb. I can't say enough about this DVD, it far exceeded my expectations. I know major cities like Chitown and LA also have an inner city underground lore, but N.Y.C. is the Mecca and this DVD represents this to the fullest. Many thanks to the producers and everyone that made this DVD possible. It will give all viewers an education on inner city basketball on the East Coast.
