Rucker Park Podcast

Before he became the basketball legend known around the world as God Shammgod, he was just a kid from Harlem looking for a glimpse of greatness.

Sitting in the trees overlooking the court, he watched the legends perform and instantly fell in love with the game.

He shares the story of how his childhood friend, Mase, brought him to Rucker for the first time, opening the door to a world that would help shape his future.

Together, they witnessed the culture, energy, and magic that made Rucker the proving ground for legends.
