new york city has a storied history of intimidating bigs that includes willis, patrick, king kong and that thing from cloverfield. but when dp comes home for the summer, gotham‘s streetball circuit becomes primal fear‘s playground. more city 'chips than a bag of ruffles and a handful of tourney mvps will do that to your rep. so you may wanna think about fleeing the paint when the most sought after marks his territory.

when the game is on the line and crunchtime turns to do or die, call the legion of hoop for backup! bryant gets to the rack like a swallow to a branch, while chad has a knack for lazily hitting money shots with a calm grin. roberto’s elbows and mc hale moves will hurt and then embarrass opponents down low. and las vegas’ finest charity will give you everything but that....like whoa!

we‘ll let his nicknames tell his story, because that‘s the only way to get rick‘s personality wrapped up. "pretty ricky“, because, well, look for yourself - can‘t argue with facts. "golden arm“, because this lefty‘s touch is a national treasure. "open bar“ kinda speaks for itself, but let‘s put it this way, rick apodaca was brought up a gentleman. the kingdome announcer named our boy "instant offense“, after rick nailed his first five shot attemps for team k1x up in harlem. and then there‘s "pr‘s finest“, which some believe is a tag strongly tied to his signature strictly business ride, which reps puerto rico like boricua.

why is france‘s playground community vibrant like the thrilla in manila, and blazing the trail for europe‘s blacktop scene? coz they got more activists than greenpeace in the eighties; hustling blogs, producing clips, creating communities and just flat out networking their tails off. it’s guys like johnny kilroy, who initiated and runs the pop-up k1x ass tourney, the country‘s leading blacktop stage, that make it happen. and then of course, there‘s the raw talent, personified by the likes of lady d‘s drives and mouhamadou‘s downtown range. a regular and most visible product of france‘s love for the game is "reverse“ magazine. pick it up next time you get engaged in the city of hoop love.
