H.I.T.S. is watching. This is where Serious Sat. dropped 62. Where Pops 5, down by 30 at the half, came back to beat the X-Men. Where Start’N’Five took G.C.D. to three O.T.s in ’03 and Summerslam’s dunk over a golf cart crowned him king.
This is the Bash at the Beach, where the Matrix, Smush and Homicide bring their game and the crowd brings its sunblock. This is better than Venice Beach East. This is The Bronx Riviera.
The summer is here.
The city is watching.
Hoops in the Sun – Orchard Beach, the long-standing courts and tournament created by the legendary Jose Cruz Sr. This is where people go to relax, catch some rays and play ball until the wheels fall off. It’s where Primal Fear roams, and Smush “The Grim Reaper” Parker gives second chances to all those who oppose him. Sunday is more like the church of basketball, where players are taught, served, and redeemed…at H.I.T.S. it’s the closest you can get to basketball heaven.
