Streetballers is for basketball, what Field of
Dreams was for baseball.
Defining street basketball as America's new favorite
pastime, it is a story driven by passion, faith, and achieving goals. A story
capturing the poetic nature of street basketball, highlighting the struggles
endured on and off the court by the purest of athletes.
Constantly searching
for sanity in the midst of alcoholism, racism, and drugs, John Hogan and Jacob
Whitmore, two junior college basketball players, find release and therapy while
competing at one of the most competitive and poetic street courts in the U.S.
Both men must spend an entire summer helping one another overcome their
adversities. Their dedication and love for the game of basketball transcends
from the playground courts into each of their dysfunctional households where
the two boys play the constant role of the father figure.
Pounding through life
one day at a time, Jacob has no choice but to play in an underground league,
constantly fighting to keep his cousin Damon out of debt, and possible death.
John's overpowering guilt and family trauma erupt into a state of confusion and
beauty with each spiritual intervention of Terry Gibson, a neighborhood boy
killed by John's older brother Michael in a drunk driving accident. Together,
the two boys paint a sad and delightful portrait with their innocence,
concerns, and faith in the unknown.
