In June the Shock Exchange's 12U, 13U, and 14U/15U teams began play at Brooklyn's famed Brower Park and Dunker's Delight at Wingate Park where you are awarded 3 points for a dunk.  With Nick and Ralphie, holdovers from last year's team, the Shock Exchange expanded the talent pool as it looked to put the local outdoor tournaments in the proverbial "choke hold".  With its spirited play, "never say die" attitude, and colorful name, the Shock Exchange has become a crowd favorite at both Brower and Wingate.  Winning the crowd at these parks is no easy feat, as the local fans (i) take their basketball seriously and (ii) recognize the real from the fake on the court.  The competition has been rugged at times but as the local competition can attest, America's Favorite Investment Ballers like to give as good as they get.  As we head into the playoffs, the team with the colorful name - "New York Shock Exchange" - expects to add to both its street rep and to local urban lore.
