Rucker Park Setup by Paul Volponi Harlem's Rucker Park has seen more than a few stars rise through its ranks, and Mackey and J.R. are hopeful that they will be the next - afterall they've been playing and watching ball their entire lives. Finally the moment they've been dreaming of has arrived - they're about to play in the Rucker Park Tournament where there is sure to be college scouts. Their team is sponsored by the Rapper named Greene and Greene has wagered heavily against opposing coach Fat Anthony that they will win. Before the tournament can even start, things go wrong and J.R. is killed. Mackey knows what has gone down and now has to decide how he'll handle things, including his own involvement.
The basketball action was intense and really kept the story captivating. The characters believeable and I found it to be a fast read. I'd recommend this for any of those reluctant readers who might need something for a book project, that and it's about 160 pages.There is lots of language** in this one, so use some caution.
