Summary
A light-colored car stopped at a traffic light beside a Brooklyn playground and its passengers cheered a father and his 10-year-old son as they played basketball.
About 10 minutes into the game, the pair were alone on the court near Columbia Street’s on-ramp to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway when the unexpected audience appeared.
Neither player could make out the words or recognize the fans, but both kept sinking shots until the light changed and the car drove away.
The brief encounter, recounted in the New York Times’ Metropolitan Diary, turned an ordinary father-son rebound session into a small neighborhood mystery.
