The Buzz:

Plot:
Rucker Park in Harlem is to basketball what St. Andrews in Scotland is to golf. Just ask Dr. J and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who both first gained fame here. In this documentary, Adam Yauch (yes, from the Beastie Boys) follows eight elite high school athletes as they compete on the b-ball world’s most hallowed pavement. All accompanied by a wicked hip-hop soundtrack.

See Instead Of:
Any of those Will Ferrell sports spoofs. This here’s the real deal.

Sleeper Potential:
Pretty good for a documentary. Remember Hoop Dreams?

Popcorn Alternative:
Yauch is a Buddhist, so opt for something vegetarian. Uh, like popcorn?

Indie Extras:

  • Yauch has directed several of his trio’s music videos and their 2006 concert documentary, Awesome: I Fuckin’ Shot That!
