Last Chance U: Basketball

This is so beautifully done, it had me glued to the screen. Conflict, comedy, drama it has it all and if you're also a basketball fan or player, you know it's hitting all the right spots.

I'm not a fan of basketball, or any sport for that matter, but this show is much more than just basketball. The insight into the coaches' and players' lives creates a connection that then has me actually caring how well they do in their games, despite me not caring much for sports really. End of episode 7 and beginning of episode 8 was very intense, I was cheering for them with all my heart.

Great documentary.

I like football more than basketball, however, I like this series better. Coach M. Is a legit man and gets me fired up about my own life. He loves you guys more than you'll ever know. Don't ever forget this man.

What I like about this season versus the football seasons is that this coach isn't a prick nor is he looking for his 15 seconds of fame. He's solely about the players and it's evident from the get go. When he does act out, which is seldom, he does so in an adult manner with intent to educate versus curse and launch into the "glory days" speeches of how they were all that. This coach is passionate about his family and enjoys lifting his student athletes up however he can. Similar to the football series, this version does a great job of providing an in depth look at some of the teams' top talent and their journey thus far to help you feel for them. Overall, Last Chance U is headed in the right direction so looking forward to the next season.

This is a stunning portrait of a team of talented kids at a college not known for academics. It's there last chance at the NBA dream. It screams authenticity and is a beautiful look into the minds of these players.

Highly recommend to any fans of sports or basketball. It makes you feel what they feel. The pressure. The excitement. The anger. All of it.
