Basketball or Nothing - Netflix

[gwhuskyfan]

I just finished binging the series...has anyone else watched? Cool 6-episode (30 minutes each) series following a Navajo reservation HS basketball team in its quest to win a state title.

 

[Kenny11]

No, but thanks. I will check it out. Need something to watch with no basketball this time of the year.

I'm not crying, you're crying. Nice watch.

Thought it was good.

Definitely a worthwhile watch. It was a fun interplay between the kids wanting to play the more unstructured basketball and the legendary old-school coach trying to get them to buy into his system. That plus the interspersion of the reservation life and challenges was very well done.

Watched it last week. Pretty good.

In my Netflix list along with about 400 other shows to check out and series to finish.

Just started the first episode and HOLY CRAPE a public high school plays in that kind of a gym?!

 

[RichZ]

Well. If I ever get the cable hooked back up so i have internet access other than the phone again, I'll be sure to check it out. Tree fell on house Saturday. Got power back late Sunday. Internet maybe tonight, maybe Wednesday. With insurance co, spectrum and eversource, i feel like I've been on hold for the
past 2 days straight.

My first thought as well

My first thought as well

It's crazy to contrast the gym to the poverty and lack of basic utilities that the players and their families deal with.

Might have to throw Cooper a schollie offer

Half of the AAC plays in less impressive facilities.

I’m on episode 3. Finally coach benches Josiah. He’s a great great kid but a bad pg.

It's pretty hard to tell from Netflix's highlights lol. They're definitely trying to sell that angle though.

These kids need a reality check re: their prospects of playing in college from coach. Life is going to be tough for them if they don't shape up.

Res life is not easy. Some of the saddest places I've ever been.

Through two episodes. First three games come down to the final shot? Stressful

Were the kids more excited to meet Begay, Fowler or Allison Stokke??
