Hooked: The Legend of Demetrius Hook Mitchell (2003)
A Film that will change lives. Cautionary tale that couldn't be more real.
one of the best docs about one of the best ball players to never make it to the NBA. he jumps over cars and dunks but his skills on the court are not enough to keep him on the right path. The kind of film that changes lives. You get to see a man transform his life from a great ball player to someone who is an inspiration to many off the court. Great prison footage of life behind bars. Gary Payton, Jason Kidd, Antonio Davis and many other NBA greats talk about Hook and his level of ball being better than Iverson and Marbury and having the tenacity of a Michael Jordan. Hook appears to have been the greatest 5'9 player to ever get on the court. Legend has it that he has a 50 inch vertical. There's bonus footage on the DVD of Master P, Steve Francis and Baron Davis talking about Hook being the best player they have ever seen. Reebok and the NBA are sponsors of the film. It's right up there with Hoop Dreams.
