Chema playing basketball at the cage

New York, United States


I cant believe it!! I read many times about "the cage", the famous street basketball court in New York. It was supposed to be full of hard players but I found a guy who said that no players were there because it was too chilly for them. Hard players?

Increible. Hoy he estado en "the cage" la famosa pista de basket callejero donde se supone que juegan los tipos más duros. Le pregunté a un negro la razón por la cual la pista estaba vacia y me contestó que en esta época empieza a hacer frio y solo juegan en pabellones cubiertos. ¿Tipos duros?

Aquí dejo un video de la experiencia:

New York Knicks vs. Portland Trail Blazers

New York, United States


INTEREST
Yes, when I was a child I wanted to be a NBA basketball player.
Yes that´s truth, when I was a child I wanted to be Magic Johnson.
Yes, my favorite team was The Lakers and I didn´t like Knicks because Patrick Ewing was very ugly.

INTERÉS
Sí, cuando era pequeño quería ser jugador de baloncesto.
Sí, es cierto, quería ser Magic Johnson.
Sí, mi equipo favorito eran los Lakers, y los Knicks no me gustaban porque Patrick Ewing era muy feo.

ILLUSION
But… when I knew that I was going to New York I got sick of illusion. I would be in the Garden!!! I would see the new all star trade Amare Stoudamire, and I would see Rudy Fernandez, one of the most spectacular Spanish players!!!

ILUSIÓN
Pero… cuando supe que iba a ir a Nueva York flipé. Iba a ir al Madison e iba a ver a Stoudamire, el nuevo fichaje estrella de los Knicks ¡y a Rudy Fernandez! uno de los jugadores españoles más espectaculares.

REALITY
Our seats were so high in the sports centre that the players seemed ants to me.

REALIDAD
Mi sitio estaba tan alto en el pabellón que los jugadores parecían hormigas.


So I walked down until a guard said: Don´t move. So I didn´t move a step.
Rudy was so close that I started to yell in Spanish: "Rudy!!! Show these Yankees what you are!!!" I think he said to Fabricccio Oberto (his team mate): "Have a look at that weird guy over there".

Así que bajé las escaleras hasta que un segurata me dijo que no siguiera. Así que no seguí. Como tenía tan cerca a Rudy empecé a gritarle: "Rudy, demuestra a estos yanquis lo que sabes hacer". Creo que le comentó a Oberto (su compañero): "Echa un vistazo a ese tio raro de allí".

And the guard looked at me with the eye of the tiger.

Entonces el segurata me miraba bastante cabreado.

If I saw someone with the t-shirt of any team or player I talked to him… but they didn´t want to talk to me. Finally the guard said to me to go away so I went away to my position. Sara was there eating popcorns so I ate popcorns and I started to watch the different color ants.


Si pasaba alguien con alguna camiseta de algún jugador o de algún equipo les comentaba algo, pero ellos ni siquiera me miraban. Al final el segurata me dijo que me esfumara, así que me subí a mi asiento donde estaba Sara comiendo palomitas por lo que yo también me puse a comer palomitas.


DISAPPOINTMENT
Rudy almost didn´t play that night when he should have. I didn´t like how Stoudamire played and he lost the ball in the most important play at the end of the game.

DECEPCIÓN
Rudy casi no jugó. No me gustó cómo jugó Stoudamire y además perdió la bola decisiva para ganar el partido.

CONCLUSION
The court was very nice, the lights were beautiful but the price was expensive (more or less 80 Euros for bad tickets) and the game was a shit. Thanks New York but I prefer your street basket.

CONCLUSIÓN
El pabellón muy chulo, las luces muy bonitas, pero salió caro (80 Euros más o menos por unos asientos muy malos) y el partido fue una mierda. Gracias New York, pero me quedo con tus canchas callejeras.
