Gunnin' For That #1 Spot Synopsis & Summary

Synopsis

Beastie Boy Adam Yauch (aka MCA) follows eight of the most talented high-school basketball players in the nation as they prepare to compete in the first annual "Elite 24" all-star game -- a heated competition played out on the legendary New York City basketball court in Rucker Park. This is the same court where Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Dr. J perfected their games, and now 24 future NBA hopefuls will take to the concrete to prove their worth. Raw hip-hop and high-energy filmmaking combine to fuel this fast-paced documentary showcasing the basketball legends of tomorrow, today. - Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
