I've watched a ton of sports documentaries... particularly basketball ones and this out did them all. The story of the influence of NYC point guards is unique, inspiring and full of flavor. But the actual film was created so artfully- from the cinematography to the spoken word story teller, to the music to how each "God" was introduced on screen - it transports the viewer right into the culture. I was moved. I started practicing my dribble the next day, looking up where adult women can play bball in the city.
I want more movies by this director! BRAVO.

Fashion and a fusion with hip-hop converged with basketball to change the game forever. Legends were born on playgrounds, high school gyms and in community centers. Names like Kenny "The Jet" Smith, Dwayne "Pearl" Washington, Mark Jackson and Stephon Marbury made famous a style of ball that forever changed the game.

EPIC DOC
I Love This Game
Brilliant documentary filled with some of the best lesser-known stories in basketball history. NYC's relationship to ball is unmatched. Rod Strickland, Stephon Marbury, Kenny Smith, Shammgod, if you consider yourself a hoop lover you have to see this. Loved how it was shot, made me feel like my 10-year-old self whose first love was
One of the best sport docs out PERIOD
I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary start to finish. I found it informative and illuminating. I knew nothing about the point guards of NYC or what they brought to the game of basketball as a whole but this doc told it in an entertaining and fresh way. A MUST WATCH!
