The reckless thug who fired into a crowd of spectators at a Harlem basketball tournament and wounded five people was sentenced to 10 years in state prison Thursday.

Ricardo Laing, 25, opened fire on the throng at the iconic Entertainers Basketball Classic in Rucker Park after a dispute erupted between two groups of fans in July 2012.

The mayhem forced the crowd – including ex-Knick Nate Robinson – to flee for safety.

Laing copped to assault and weapons charges last month as part of a plea deal struck in Manhattan Supreme Court.

“Unfortunately for the hundreds in attendance on July 25, 2012, Ricardo Laing brought a gun to the game and fired wildly into the crowd, injuring five bystanders who luckily did not lose their lives,” said Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance.

A-List celebrities like Jay Z, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James have attended the annual Entertainers Basketball Classic.
