Every summer in New York City, the sounds of basketball fill the air as tournaments in neighborhood parks give the hoopers a forum to display their skills. NYvsNY is one of the best, pitting the biggest tournaments in the city against each other to see who runs the city. The first round playoffs saw Gersh play Tri-State and West 4th play Dyckman. 2-time defending champion Gersh easily defeated Tri-State in the first game. Home team Dyckman had a tough time with West 4th, winning in the last minutes by three points. It was fun capturing the moments of these games. Having played in tourneys in this park, it’s great to see the game evolving and still celebrated. I hope you enjoy these images. Looking forward to the next rounds.
