Ron Artest shares stories from his rise through the city’s basketball scene, the lessons he learned competing against the best, and how the culture of New York shaped his career on and off the court.
Together, they compare basketball then and now, discussing how the game has evolved, the importance of Rucker Park in developing talent, and why preserving the history of streetball matters for future generations.
