Images: Basketball (not) on Roosevelt Island

The above image of a Roosevelt Island basketball net is from the blog Shattered Shattered. I am not sure how old the image is but I am sure the shooter could have found a better ball than this.

Overall I do have to say watching the kids and adults play ball on this island does provide some competitive games to watch. Apparently this game however was not one of them.
