Everyone who KNOWS Basketball, knows Rucker Park.

It is undoubtedly the most famous basketball court in the world, forget the Garden, forget the Forum and forget all the others.

The court is on any basketball fans itinerary if he or she is in New York. You can't go to New York and not visit if you truly love the game.

Though the court is World renowned and the stories of games played long ago gain embellishment each year, the man who created it all is ignored by the establishment still.

Not for long if Chris Rucker has his way. Holcombe Rucker was his grandfather and Chris wants to see Holcombe where he belongs, in the Basketball Hall of Fame. It's a no-brainer really, most readers would assume that the famed Holcombe Rucker would already be in Springfield.

Chris Rucker is a man on a mission and the basketball community worldwide is on his side, it's a mission that can't fail.
