Trailer A Kid From Coney Island

Movies about basketball on Netflix not only focus on greats like Tony Parker but also mention forgotten stars like Stephon Marbury. Directed by Coodie and Chike (the same two who worked previously on a documentary series revolving around Kanye West called Jeen-Yuhs), A Kid From Coney Island depicts his early boom as a pivotal point of New York City. However, this success did not last long as he soon left the NBA after many obstacles in his career. Instead of creating an optimistic image of his sad decline, A Kid From Coney Island views Marbury's film career more empathetically and humanely. The documentary ultimately offers a different perspective on youth fame in the game of basketball.
