On September 1, 2006, the top 24 high school basketball players in the nation stepped out on this court, that once saw the likes of Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Dr. J to compete in the first annual “Elite 24†all-star game. Gunnin' For That #1 Spot follows eight of these players as they prepare to showcase their skills at the most legendary playground in the world.
Directed by Adam Yauch (MCA of the Beastie Boys) the documentary trails these players on the fast track to the NBA, as they are being groomed to be in the spotlight of a multi-million dollar game.
Just giving you all a heads up about this movie/doco that I've been looking forward to for a little while now mostly due to the B-Boy connection but also because one of the players focused on is Michael Beasley.
