During the sweltering summer of seventeen-year-old Paul Volponi's
life, he had only goal-he wanted, no, needed to become a legitimate
and respected New York City street basketball player. It was a
passion that consumed him night and day, and at times even isolated
him from his friends and family. So he entered through the gates of
the Proving Ground, the roughest streetball yard in the city. It
was a place where the fouls resembled felonies, and the atmosphere
mirrored that of the Roman Coliseum more than Madison Square
Garden. It was where teens and adults contested pickup games with a
ferocity seemingly greater than that of the NBA Finals. The Proving
Ground was a difficult place to cultivate friendships and an easy
environment to make enemies. This is the story of Paul's
summer-long initiation at the Proving Ground. It is truly a
streetball testament of a teenager who wanted more than anything
else to earn his stripes in streetball society. Only what he didn't
understand at the time was that this experience would deliver to
him, as it does today for so many young adults, a set of skills
that would enhance his life far beyond the boundaries of a
basketball court.
