The West Fourth Street Courts, also known as "The Cage", are a notable public athletic venue for amateur basketball in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.
Due to its small size, there is a greater emphasis on physical play, commonly referred to as "banging inside."
The West 4th Street League, founded by a limousine driver named Kenny Graham, has carved its own place in asphalt history.
Anthony Mason's Prime Time squad won five titles in the early 1990s.
West 4th Street officials estimate that their league attracts more than 100,000 spectators each summer, numbers that Rucker Park rivaled only in its heyday during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
