I loved this video, but can't help but think its fake. Hard to believe all those people would show up to a random street ball game. Not to mention, people might notice a camera crew running about.

Never been to an urban area, huh?

A guy I knew in high school grew up in a poor (but not ghetto) area on the south side of Chicago. We went and played in pickup games there a few times. It wasn't as well attended as this game, but between a team or two waiting to play and a few girlfriends (or baby mamas) there was usually a little bit of a crowd. Not to the extend there was in this video, but it definitely makes the video believable to me.

I heard a few minutes about this on the radio yesterday. The people were told it was a documentary (I didn't catch what the documentary was supposedly about though) and only a few people knew about the setup.

Overall, I thought it was pretty awesome.
