The history lesson then and now inside Rucker Park

Team Posse — Bronx, New York

Team Posse was a basketball team from the Bronx, New York, representing the pride, toughness, and competitive spirit of their neighborhood.

Led by Coach Gill, Team Posse became part of the rich basketball culture that came out of the Bronx. The team competed against some of the toughest talent in New York City and built a reputation for playing hard and representing Melrose with pride.

One of the highlights of Team Posse’s history was their success at the world-famous Rucker Park, competing in the Entertainers Basketball Classic (EBC). Team Posse battled against some of the best teams and players in street basketball and went on to win championships at Rucker Park, putting the Melrose Projects and the Bronx on the map.

For the players, Coach Gill, and everyone who supported them, Team Posse was more than a basketball team. They were a representation of their community and a part of the history of New York City street basketball.
