Essentially a highlight reel of thrilling moments from New York City streetball, Slam from the Street is not so much another narrative about America's premiere playground sport as it is an impressionistic whirl of slam dunks, gravity defiance, and gritty competition. Set to some uncompromising, aggressive hip-hop and rap (and the occasional, trenchant piece of social commentary by some of the key players in New York's tough, amateur circuit), Slam plays its video content like an overworked turntable, messing with speed, camera angles, and rhythms toward an overall entertaining and somehow democratizing effect.

Visit the Kingston or West 4th Street Classic Tournaments for raucous team action, or meet dominance-prone players like Biz (a schoolteacher off court), Tone Springer of the Harlem Wizards, Andre Duke (250 dunks in 10 years), and Charles Jones (an NCAA top scorer in 1996-97 and NBA draftee in '98). --Tom Keogh

Description

Like thumpin' rap and hip-hop, basketball comes from the streets, where playground leagues reign supreme. The sizzling asphalts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, the wind-swept blacktops in Chicago, and the beachfront courts in L.A. have all become theaters for the best ballin' in America. World famous hoops heroes learned the game on the streets and brought their earth-shattering slams, silky smooth passes, and wondrous acrobatics to the NBA, making it as compelling as it is today. But the NBA superstars only mimic the moves they've seen the Picassos of the playground make; these are the guys with the NBA game but none of the world fame, and it's time these players got a chance to show their stuff. Set to slammin' hip-hop and rap beats, Slam from the Street delivers all the highlights and the energy of the most jammin' streetball in the world.

Slam from the Street, Vol. 1: The Original is the original streetball tape featuring the absolute hottest passes, shots, dribbles, and dunks to come off the playground. Filmed at the top street tournaments such as the world famous West 4th St. courts in Manhattan, this video defines street moves at their very best. This action comes straight from real tournaments where the stars are playing for neighborhood bragging rights, so you know the action is intense. You've never seen rough and tough streetball like this.

Worst Streetball DVD ever!.......2004-10-05

I don't really need to say much because the other cat who gave 1 star said it all. I don't know who made this, but I hope they go bankrupt. This DVD was so bad I think I could sue for false advertising. And the other two reviewers that gave 5 stars, have either never watched basketball or work for the distributor. And it's so funny because they'd do slow motion replays of the most average uninteresting plays. Like of someone just passing the ball. I keep wondering if this was some kind of joke. Anyways don't waste your money, you'll find it more entertaining to go and watch players at your local court.

A warning for any true recipient of streetball, this Dvd is TERRIBLE! After watching the 1st 2minutes, I wanted to turn it off, I forced myself to watch it in the hopes it got better... The player profiles & street league table structure was a good idea though I wasted no time in studying it, I merely glanced. The commentary was irritating with so called "Streetballers!" running off at the mouth with regards to players supposed "Ill" moves which were not featured. The music was dull, and the film work featured continuous "LETS SEE THAT AGAIN!" replays which weren't even that special. I believe the commentators watched another game, and were duped in the thought that their voices would be used for some true baller games... Your much better off buying the "And 1: Ball Access Mixtape tour" Dvd for pure essential streetball quality, inclusive of: Freestyle Rhyming, ill moves, pics & [mess] ups, to name a few. As a baller myself I could get better frills playing on my local court by myself...

Amazing DVD.......2002-05-08

I am a huge pro and college basketball fan. I can never seem to get enough ESPN. This DVD shows amazing highlights of people I am not familar with doing extraordinary things. Amazing dunks, steals, assists, etc. I found myself watching this over and over again with my friends. Each of them has liked it so much that they bought their own (I am sick of loaning mine out).

I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who is a hoops fan. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Streetball at it Best!.......2002-04-07

Slam from the Street is the best streetball tape I have seen. It shows us some truely amazing moves, especially the dunks, from some of the biggest streetball tournaments in the US with some of the best steetball players. This is truley authentic streetball action. You really get the feel of the neighborhoods these hard core streetball tournaments are played in, as well as the texture and lifestyle of the ballers represented. The footage at West 4th Street in Manhattan is especially fantastic (The world famous Conrad McRae slam dunk contest at West 4th was really sick). I think all basketball fans will really enjoy these DVD's.

That's right SAVE YOUR MONEY.......2004-10-05

The other cat who said save your money is absolutely right. He described the DVD exactly. This DVD along with all the others(I was dumb enough to buy the whole boxset which I'm returning) put me to sleep literally. I'm embarassed to say I even watched this. I had to force myself to get through it. I'm definitely sticking to And 1. Their DVDs might be a little on the short side but at least they're entertaining.

When is Volume 3 coming?.......2002-05-08

I purchased the first volume of Slam From The Street and enjoyed it so much that I had to get the second volume. I am a huge college and pro fan and as a result of this DVD line I can say I am now a true street basketball fan. These street ballers do things that the pro's never think about. If you want to see outrageous action (dunks, steals, assists), you need to see this.

Don't sleep on this DVD. When can we expect more?

P.S. I bought some of the other street basketball DVD's, but this was the best I have seen. I think the directors of Jordan to the Max did this one.
