How come Lebron gets a pass for never playing at Rucker Park?

[Brian O'Conner]

I'm sorry playing at the Rucker is a right of passage, as a basketball fan this almost upsets me as much as him never competing in an NBA Dunk contest..... How are you supposed to be the GOAT, close to retirement with almost 20 years in the NBA and never showed out in the Rucker or won a dunk contest

The one time he was supposed to show up the bus was empty

Rucker been dead for a long time now, Gersh park and pro city are the best unlimited tournaments in the city also Dyckman is popping in the summer

The Drew League is where it's at now.

Because LeBron has always been image conscious and afraid to get embarrassed. i.e. never appearing in the Slam Dunk Contest, confiscating that Nike tape when a H.S. Jordan Crawford dunked on him, to never appearing at the Rucker.

Honestly, not appearing at the Rucker is up there with the 6 Finals losses in terms of asteriks are concerned

Jayz brought Bron to the Rucker in 03 but Bron wasn’t trying to play


Baron too easy Davis came through and dropped 50 by half tho

That’s what happened in the Drew league? Bron did it and moved on

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Drew League been the wave for a min. Rucker organizers are responsible for their own demise and Dyckman is where it's now if you want that Rucker-type hype/fukkery

 

[Rigby.]

I understand the respect this park has historically but by the time Bron legacy was established, it’s been passed as that “you gotta play @“ location. Everyone that came out in the late 2000s only played there outta courtesy or they just really wanted to play there. Brehs already listed ITT which joints took over
