"Filmmakers Benny and Josh Safdie use real-time footage to follow this hopeful, affable young man as he becomes a bitter has-been over the course of a decade."—Leba Hertz, San Francisco Chronicle

"A penetrating and ultimately heartbreaking inventory of hard lessons learned on and off the court." —Scott Foundas, Variety

In 2001, Cooke was the number-one ranked high school basketball player in America, with future NBA greats LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony listed beneath him. Yet after declaring himself eligible for the 2002 NBA draft, Cooke went undrafted.
