-BASKETBALL!!!!

In New York you don't play basketball, you play street ball, a flashy offshoot of the game, played inside chai-link fences that resemble steel cages. There are more than 700 public outdoor courts in the city, and they always see to be in use. The legendary summer leagues attract some of the world's top basketball talent, as well as thousands of spectators. And if you want to play, make sure you have a good nickname- a streetballer's nickname describes his personality and style of play, so you could be playing against guys called Fly, Hot Sauce and Bone Collector.

VOCABULARY:
Street ball-Jugar a pliota
Offshoot-Plançó
