Rucker Park isn’t just a basketball court—it’s where reputations were built, legends were born and streetball became culture.
On this episode of Inside Rucker Park: Then and Now, Al Cash sits down with Tim Gittens, better known as “Headache,” whose basketball journey has taken him from New York City streetball to professional basketball, coaching and developing the next generation of athletes.
Headache reflects on competing at Rucker Park, earning his name in the streetball world and turning his experience on the court into a career that has reached far beyond Harlem. From playing professionally in the U.S. and internationally to coaching, mentoring young athletes and building the Headache 13 Foundation, his story shows what can happen when basketball becomes bigger than the game.
This is Rucker Park history told by the people who lived it.
The culture. The history. The legacy. 🏀
