Head to Harlem's Rucker Park this weekend to see Ace & Dylan in action!
- Thread starter SoCal_Knight
- Start date
Maybe Dylan plans on announcing for Rutgers at Rucker. Wouldn't that be dope.
That’s the women’s game. The men’s game starts at 7.
Boys lineup for 2023 Summer Slam Classic - NY, NJ and Philly area well represented today.

Ace looks absolutely monsterous. I know they aren't playing defense, but some of the moves he is doing, are simply unreal.
It’s the second quarter and I’m starting to lose count of how many times Rutgers has been mentioned on the stream.
This type of game doesn’t really play to Dylan’s strengths. I wouldn’t read too much into it.
Just an observation.. it was horrific “basketball “
Like the NBA All Star game… unwatchable 
People that are saying "unwatchable" "no defense" etc... dear Lord I hope you're just new to basketball. Otherwise what did u expect?!?! It's Rucker!!!! It's outdoor Harlem streetball! This is what it's supposed to be, lol! Home of Skip To My Lou, among others. It's where And 1 mix tapes were born. Doc played here in the 70s. Earl Manigault. Helicoptor. This is what you do. You show out for the crowd. Man, ha.
Anyway, coming into this I knew Ace would thrive and Dylan might struggle. Like @Nycrusupporter said, this isn't his environment per se. That said, he was breaking people down off the dribble, he just wasn't hitting his j. He didn't try to drive a ton, and he was dishing a lot. But Ace? This is his realm. High-flyer. Flashy. Loved it.
Not to focus solely on scoring, but it's hard not to, so my MVPs gotta be Ace and Ian Jackson aka Captain Jack. BTW what an awesome nickname, ha. Love it.

Dylan played very poorly and was wayyy off on basically every 3 and was visibly frustrated with his own play. Not that is matters since it's barely even a game. Dylan is an actual baller when it comes to real basketball
Ace basically cherry picked every play and they would throw it down to him for dunk after dunk. He had at least 10 dunks. His size athleticism as skillset are unbelievable
Ace > Flagg

Captain Jack was impressive and his nickname is so good
Is what it is. Playground streetball. Ball out for crowd at Rucker park. No defense needed.
Lots of eyes on the RU program. Love it.

I'm guessing Ian Jackson's team won? Lol I see he went for 45, nyc kids always take games on nyc playgrounds more seriously than everyone else... They wont hear the end of it if they lose.. guessing this will come on NBA tv some time today..
stupid question but who pays for all of Ace's and Dylan's travel and hotel stays? these kids are always traveling for AAU or other events all over the country. Would imagine that costs a fortune for the family at this level. Does the event pay for it?
Really nice coverage by Fonseca/NJ.Com with a decidedly Rutgers bent.
As soon as I see a guy with a microphone on the court - I'm outLike the NBA All Star game… unwatchable
If there is an MC on the court with the players, it's not a real basketball game
Cooper Flag tied it at the buzzer for Ian Jackson's team, and then they went on to win in overtime.
Nothing wrong with a hype man. I wonder if having a hype man out of bounds and out of the way of the officials with a live mic and bringin’ banter would be a technical foul according to the NCAA?
My favorite part was that they just randomly decided they would advance the ball on the timeout so that they could get a shot up to try and tie the game.
