Rucker Park is arguably the most famous basketball court in the world not graced by NBA teams (though plenty of NBA players play on it), and the famed New York City streetball mecca just got a re-design courtesy of rapper A$AP Ferg and inspired by Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics and Maya culture of all things, according to Mark Elibert of Hip Hop DX.
According to Elibert, Harlem native A$AP Ferg got together with Brown, the NBA Players Association (NBPA) and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation to reopen the Greg Marius Court at Holcombe Rucker Park in Harlem this past Oct. 9 after he re-designed the court with a Maya flare.
“What really inspired this court design, because I had so many designs, I spoke to my friend Jaylen Brown, he plays for the Boston Celtics,” explained Ferg.
