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!!!

Definitely worth watching. A genuine look at life on the reservation. I do wish there was more footage behind the scenes of basketball. Go Wildcats

So much to like about this documentary. Having watched a slew of these, I can say that it is just so refreshing to see a coach get results without abusive language and behavior toward his players. The staff at the school seemed so good. Concerned, supportive, trying to balance academics with sports. It was impossible for me to ignore the overall atmosphere of depression in most of the players and most of their parents. And I get why they would be depressed. But the one thing that I just cannot figure out for the life of me is why you would spend 25 million dollars on a high school basketball arena when there are people in the community that don't have running water. That right there depressed me.

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.
