Description
Oakland, California is the birthplace of more NBA basketball stars than any other city in the country. But there is a streetball legend named Demetrius 'Hook' Mitchell who rises above them all. At 5'9", this champion of innumerable slam-dunk competitions solidified his legendary status by performing 360⁰ rotations over the top of a Volkswagen on his way to the basket. Talent was not enough to save him from the reality of life on the mean streets of West Oakland, however, where a broken home and few positive role models led to drug addiction, robbery, arrest and prison. How "Hook" wound up incarcerated, while the buddies he grew up with skyrocketed to super stardom is told in this poignant tale of a life gone wrong.
