Youngest Guns, The (DVD)

This documentary delves into the NBA's practice of recruiting players at an ever-younger age, and examines the positive aspects and consequences of early success in the lives of the players. Following Darius Miles of the Portland Trailblazers and Quentin Richardson of the LA Clippers, both of whom come from urban backgrounds in the ghettoes of St. Louis and Chicago, respectively, the film asks some tough questions about the merits of making it big as a teenager. The risks of bypassing education to take a chance on the court are examined, and audiences are presented with a glimpse of the life of up-and-coming ballers as they spend time with friends, strive to meet their athletic goals, and ultimately realize that the support of friends and family are the necessary counterbalance to the strain and allure of the NBA.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Product: 10 Song CD
