  • Summary

  • Celebrating 30 years of the breakthrough journey that is/was Hoop Dreams, Andy interviews William Gates who along with Arthur Agee, were the protagonists of a documentary that foretold the reality of the “dream” while allowing viewers across the globe a front row seat to the hardships of trying to make it to the NBA.


    Originally meant as a 30-minute story/expose for PBS on how street basketball players could migrate to the organized game, it grew into over 250 hours of content that was edited into a 170-minute documentary that portrayed an honest view of what it takes to get to the pinnacle of the sport.


    This episode of Takin it to the Streets explores the true meaning of the “Hoop” dream that lives and burns inside all of us.
