Reviews
"The depth of reporting, along with Martindale's obvious love for the tournament, makes "Inside the Cage" an enjoyable read. For Kenny Graham and the players of West 4th Street, it provides some well-earned recognition. They'd keep playing without it, but it's about time someone gave them their due."-- John Matson, "Dime Magazine", "West 4th Street has been a terrific place to develop many, many youngsters. [The] true sportsmanship displayed there is terrific. Playground basketball has been the backbone of our game throughout the years. Hopefully, Inside the Cage will generate greater playground play."-- Mike Krzyzewski, Duke Basketball Head Coach and New York Times bestselling author, "A summer at one of basketball's celebrated blacktops, where the characters are as captivating as the game."--Sports Illustrated, "With muscled prose and a deft touch, Wight Martindale takes us into the heart of the Cage, the West 4th Street courts where basketball dreams and reputations are won and lost one trip down the floor at a time, where stirring human dramas play out beyond the roar of the big-time. Just a wonderful, heartfelt book."-- Adrian Wojnarowski, author of the "New York Times" bestselling "The Miracle of St. Anthony: A Season with Coach Bob Hurley and Basketball's Most Improbable Dynasty", "Employing colorful anecdotes and more than a few cautionary tales, Martindale introduces the characters -- from the NBA dreamers to the drug dealer turned coach to the scraggly scorekeeper called Moneybags -- who carry the story, and a good one it is."-- "SI.com", "West 4th Street has been a terrific place to develop many, many youngsters.

Synopsis
The most popular outdoor basketball court in New York City is half the regulation size, offers no seating, and has sidelines bounded by a chain-link fence--but the summer league on West 4th Street in Greenwich Village has developed its share of stars and has become known throughout the world for another reason: Here, the only thing that matters is the game. Inside the Cage follows the West 4th Street's summer league through a single season, chronicling its legendary history along the way. From 1970s playground legend Fly Williams to NBA veteran Anthony Mason and L.A. Lakers guard Smush Parker, three generations of players have mastered their game at West 4th Street. And the Cage itself--located in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in America and frequented by men from the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Harlem--proves that talent can flourish even in the most unlikely places., The most popular outdoor basketball court in New York City is half the regulation size, offers no seating, and has sidelines bounded by a chain-link fence.
