High Hoops
Overview
A construction site’s scaffolding provides the backdrop, and backboard, for youngsters playing streetball at 131st Street near Fifth Avenue in New York on Aug. 8, 1991. Streetball — a showy, hard-nosed version of basketball — has been played on city streets and public courts for decades and is credited with grooming countless collegiate and professional stars.

Streetball is “marked by elbows-out play, a casual commitment to the rulebook and makeshift facilities,” reported The Times in 2010. Some public parks have become legendary basketball meccas, including Rucker Park in Harlem and West Fourth Street, known as “The Cage,” in the West Village.
Surprisingly, the steel basketball hoops at more than 700 city public parks are not purchased from commercial outlets, but rather individually crafted, forged by a team of parks department blacksmiths who cut, weld and paint each by hand. “The finished product is a remnant of an earlier era of the sport, somewhere on the evolutionary chain between the original wooden peach baskets and the modern spring-loaded breakaway rims used by the National Basketball Association,” The Times reported.
The article added, “They have survived endless rounds of slam dunks, and occasionally served as chin-up bars and, for the especially nimble, even as spectator seating.”
This made-to-order image is printed on giclée archival photo paper and is available framed or unframed. Framed photography comes ready to hang with a removable wire attached to the back. Choose from a lightweight ayous wood or a gold or silver metal frame to customize the frame best suited to your space. The print comes from The New York Times’s extensive archives, known as the “morgue,” which houses more than five million photographic prints that date back to 1905. It is available exclusively from The Times Store.
