The Rucker Park Game That Never Happened
On August 14, 2003, Jay-Z and Fat Joe recruited NBA stars to face off in an infamous Rucker Park streetball game.
Jay-Z’s Team: Sebastian Telfair, Jamal Crawford, LeBron James, Lamar Odom, Shaquille O’Neal
Fat Joe’s Team: Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, Carmelo Anthony, Jermaine O’Neal, Yao Ming
But just before tip-off, the Northeastern Blackout shut everything down. The game never happened.
Some fans still believe the NBA stepped in to avoid risking injuries to its stars. Others think it was just wild coincidence.
So here’s the question — if this game actually went down, which squad are you taking?
