Plot Summary
An exploration of the history, culture, and social impact of New York’s summer b-ball scene, widely recognized as the worldwide “Mecca” of the sport. In New York City, pick-up basketball is not just a sport. It is a way of life. There are 700+ outdoor courts, and an estimated 500,000 players, the most loyal of which approach the game as a religion, and the playground as their church.
Customer Reviews
Fascinating and fun documentary.
Whether you love hoops or not, don't miss this. This film is way more than just a basketball movie, it's an engaging historical/social documentary celebrating the human will to succeed. If you love movies depicting passionate people doing the things they love, this is a fun ride from beginning to end. If you love hoops? It doesn't get any better. Bonus- the soundtrack is amazing (as you'd always expect from a Bobbito Garcia project).
