The 4th Street Classic is more than a basketball tournament—it’s a celebration of community, culture, and legacy at Mount Vernon’s legendary “Mecca,” 4th Street Park. Known for producing playground legends like Galen “Squid” Smalls and David Gray, Mount Vernon is also the hometown of NBA stars such as Ben Gordon, Gus Williams, Lowes Moore, and Randy Smith. This historic court has shaped the game for generations, serving as a proving ground for talent that’s reached the highest levels. The Classic brings together boys, girls, families, and fans from across the nation to witness elite amateur basketball—accessible, inspiring, and unforgettable. With every game, we honor the past, empower the present, and pave the way for the future of basketball greatness.
