What an achievement this is. The film records two young kids trying to achieve their NBA dream. It captures their lives. It shows one kid's struggle with his father leaving and doing drugs, struggle with being robbed by a school and having to play catch up academically, and the struggle of his family being so poor they sometimes can't pay the electricity bill.

It shows the down from how hard life is but shows the happiness they get once their on the court. In the end it shows how much they have matured, saying if that they don't make it to the NBA, they still have much they can do with their lives.
