What Above the Rim Is About
Kyle, a high school senior, is a good basketball player up for a college scholarship, but his need to prove himself on court and off drops him between two men. On one side is Birdie, a dealer putting together a team for the neighbourhood tournament; on the other is Shep, working as a security guard at the school and once a legend on the court. The two are brothers and something happened between them years ago. Jeff Pollack sets it inside New York street basketball culture and shot the games with real players. Tupac Shakur plays Birdie. The soundtrack album became one of the most influential records of its moment in its own right. Who it is for: viewers who like nineties sports drama and hip hop culture. Who it is not for: anyone looking for an unpredictable story.
