Oakland, California is the birthplace to more NBA basketball stars than any other city in the United States. But there is a streetball legend who rises above them all...

Demitrius "Hook" Mitchell has been called one of the best basketball players never to make it to the NBA, and can name superstar NBA players Jason Kidd, Gary Payton and Bryan Shaw amongst his closest friends. But while these basketball legends say he was better than all of them, Hook wound up incarcerated for five years, left to watch his childhood friends skyrocket to stardom with multi-million dollar salaries. His poignant tale of a life gone wrong is told in this documentary, Hooked.

Featuring Antonio Davis, Drew Gooden, Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, and Brian Shaw.
