Crosstown Crossover

The fellas and I headed up to Hongkou district to check out a basketball venue named after the storied Rucker park in New York. Always hungry for a good game on our day off, we walked through the gate which just looks like a run down building possibly in it's final days. Once you make your way up the stairs you start to see graffiti covered walls and autographed pics of NBA stars lining the way to the roof. That's where you find basket after basket leading out to a roof top outdoor court set right in the midst of Shanghai's massive development. Not a bad place to work on your game, if you ask me.
