Harlem's Rucker Park is a holy land for basketball pilgrims everywhere, not to mention the end-of-argument reference on any streetballer's resume. Two years ago, the red-and-green court hosted our nation's top prep stars for the first Elite 24 Hoops Classic.

With his typical above-the-rim flair, Yauch delivers an alley-oop so the hoopsters can showcase their personalities as pressure to become the next LeBron mounts.
