On the knee of 155th and Frederick Douglas Boulevard in Harlem lies Rucker Park. By appearances, the thicken pavement, anchored on one side by its run down viscous bleachers, is no separate than any other basketball royal household in the city, but this is the courtyard where nicknames are indelibly branded, and legends are born.

Gunnin’ For That #1 Blot (official place) follows eight of these players as they adjust to showcase their skills at the most fictitious playground in the creation.

Directed by Adam Yauch (MCA of the Beastie Boys and superintendent of Awesome; I F***ing Discharge That!), the documentary trails these players on the forbear eating track to the NBA, as they are being groomed to be in the spotlight of a multi-a thousand thousand dollar amusement.

I reflect the poster looks chimerical as well.

Gunnin’ For That #1 Mark stars Jerryd Bayless, Michael Beasley, Tyreke Evans, Donte Greene, Brandon Jennings, Kevin Be fond of, Kyle Singler and Spear Stephenson.
