The Blackout: Fat Joe vs. JAY-Z at the legendary Rucker Park + 17-year-old LeBron James, Kobe Bryant & more

In the summer of 2003, rival rappers JAY-Z and Fat Joe led their star studded teams to the championship at the legendary Rucker Park basketball court in Harlem. The iconic court–located 155th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard, just east of the former Polo Grounds site–has hosted some of the greatest players in the world including the legendary Kobe Bryant (R.I.P.) and LeBron James, who was just getting ready to join the NBA at the time. Thousands filled the Harlem streets to witness the most anticipated streetball game of all time, until the largest blackout in U.S history crippled Manhattan. A few years ago, Fresh Focus Sports released a great hour-long documentary revisiting the epic tournament which does an incredible job capturing how monumental it all was.
