In the summer of 2003, the Entertainers Basketball Classic (EBC) in Harlem New York took the nation by storm, and put the world of streetball on notice. Bringing the biggeststars of Hip Hop, sports and politics together in one place. Highlighted by Hip Hop rivals Jay Z and Fat Joe along with their star studded teams, EBC was set to have the most anticipated championship in streetball history. Thousands filled the streetof Harlem, and with standing room at Rucker park the lights went out ,and never came back on. The largest blackout in U.S History crippled Manhattan and EBC Championship game. The Blackout sorts though the gossip,rumors and urban legends as it turns the lights back on at Rucker parkand retells the story of the biggest streetball game that never was.
I love how some of them are hinting that the blackout was on purpose just to prevent their basketball game. How self centered can someone seriously be..?
Oh ok Bill Clinton and David Stern made the game official by showing up. Why do white people matter to us so much? F Bill and David! As the native people of this planet and America we don't need validation from them. Shit they need us! They need our entertainment, sports skills, creativity, labor, and our land. This land and the original inhabitants are very valuable to them. We are not African Americans! Do you family ancestry with paper work and ask the elders in your family about African. I bet they will talk about Indian blood. As a kid I only heard the African American tale from school and the media. Nobody in my family ever told me we or I was African. I did hear stories of Indian blood. Let that soak in.
