Description
As the NBA drafts younger and younger to dig deeper into the talent pool for tomorrow#s stars, do these blacktop phenoms have the ability to handle it all? How does an 18-year-old deal with sudden success, and what the are the risks of foregoing an education for a shot at the brass ring? Follow the rookie season of Darius Miles, now a starter for the Portland Trailblazers, and the Los Angeles Clippers# Quentin Richardson, who grew up tough in East St. Louis and Chicago respectively. See these two extraordinary young men on the road, at home with their families, hanging with their friends and struggling for minutes on the court. Watch two players discover how a supporting friendship functions against the backdrop of NBA pressure and big-time glamour.

 A British View! July 20, 2005
P. Barrington (Hereford. Great Britain)
Living in the UK it is difficult to get good quality DVD's covering my favourite sport, that being basketball in the NBA. This DVD gives the viewer a great insight into the mind set of the two young stars. It also shows the reality of the life they are stepping into by becoming an NBA player showing what happens behind the scenes not just game day.
It is a good watch made all the more interesting for me as not long after, my team the Knicks acquired Richardson as part of the 2005 draft.
Inside look at the players, not the game November 22, 2004

NBA Basketball isn't my sport; I haven't ever seen a team or season that surpasses the Knicks of the late 60s when I was a kid.
But what's great about this movie is that it looks at two players more than the game or the teams, two youg guys on the threshold of stardom and money and fame. That they handle it so well is surprising, even if any chump knows that NOT to leave college or highschool for the NBA doesn't make sense.
Still, in a time when some NBA players are going into the stands to beat up fans, it's good to see two young men who were apparently so well loved and educated to this point, that they can slide into the NBA world with poise and aplomb.

I just love this documentary film. It takes you through the early stages of 2 of the NBA's Youngest Stars... aka "YOUNGEST GUNS"... Even better since they are both still playing in the NBA... and "Q" is a true SuperStar. A MUST SEE FOR ANY NBA FAN!!!!!!!!!! GREAT ENTERTAINING DOCUMENTARY!!!! I loved it!

This movie is about a lot more than just basketball. It's about life and the choices you make. Best basketball film since "Hoop Dreams". Great soundtrack. MTV meets the NBA. Hip, Hop & Score.
