FILE - In this ç, spectators watch one of the basketball matches during the World Basketball Festival at Rucker Park in New York. The COVID-19 pandemic has left the New York street ball scene quiet since Mayor Bill de Blasio ordered the rims at 80 playground courts around the city to be removed because people weren't adhering to social distancing. While the city is set to slowly begin reopening this month, recreation activities aren’t set to be addressed for several weeks. It’s left open the possibility that New York’s hallowed outdoor courts such as Rucker Park, all as much a part of New York’s basketball culture as the Knicks and Madison Square Garden, could remain silenced into summer.
