Basketball or Nothing

I'm into basketball films and documentaries like Hoop Dreams, Doin' it in the Park, He got game or even White men can't jump. But what I liked most about this mini series is that it has an enormous heart. You really start rooting for these guys.

I am a basketball fanatic my entire life. I played at collegiate high school and can understand everything these kids are going through. I was and still am 5'8. I came from a divorced family. One with money one without. Basketball is way of life in more ways than one. The lessons you learn stay with you for life. Great doc! Only issue I have is the same I have seen stated already, why spend so much on arena when the money could've been used in the community!!! Millions for basketball instead of running water? That's really the big issue I have. Other than that check it out whether you like sports or not!!!

Watch it in January 2022 and really enjoy the whole series which show how alot of people struggle to give there boys a good education for better life than themselves. A very respectable coach who guide his young men with no abusive language that unfortunately became the trend of coaching nowadays.

Reality shows aren't my thing, and I'm not into basketball. But I checked out this series because I have fond memories of visiting the Navajo Nation 30 years ago. Turns out you don't have to like basketball to enjoy this show - I think everybody would enjoy it. The quiet, mild-mannered coach, with his impeccable manners, is actually an unstoppable force and by the last episode you wish you could drive to Arizona just to meet this guy in person. And it's fun watching the Navajo kids, because typical of their culture, they're also very polite, even while playing an astonishing game of basketball. I mean, you just love these kids...you'll start to feel like they're your own family. You get taken into another world, and it's a world you may not want to leave. I'll watch this again; it was outstanding!!

This is an exciting trip with a band of teen boys and the community that supports them, as they face a David and Goliath situation. It's a short series, so quick to watch, yet you don't want the run to be over when you finish. Highly recommend
