1:04 “Not everybody’s bad some people just make bad decisions”
This seems like such an obvious statement, but its so goddamn important to remember that.

Accountable, Self-aware, discipline, respect, team-work, togetherness.....These are the things that I learned from basketball and being part of a team. These boys are fortunate to be associated with something like this. It teaches them how to be a decent person and good member of society. Great series!
That's a great coach right there. His words of wisdom towards life can really help this youngsters. Love this documentary. It's such an inspirational one.
dawg what
Real talk 💯
💯🔥@a true love official
Jay williams. Still one of the best college basketball players I've ever seen. Love seeing him on espn like almost every day

Honestly as an asian-American, I rarely get to see this perspective. It’s a great eye-opener culturally.
This isn’t real😭😂🤣👍🏻

This is really next level story telling and as someone who is not from the area, I love the historical context that I didn't know, most notably the social issues.
A+ content.
I grew up in a town with one stop light. I can intellectually think I understand the issues but seeing these teachers and kids fighting for a life so many take for granted is powerful. A truly amazing program. Thank you.
As a former teacher at Central High School, I am glad that the world can now see what has become "common" to many who pass through the doors of CHS and the neighborhoods that produce players like this... I have been sharing with Coach McCray, "OG... You gotta be the guiding light, and if you got 'em, you gotta guide 'em right..." This is what it is about about -guiding them right. Great work!
Jay Williams was born for this greater cause.
I doubt playing in the NBA could have provided him with hands-on approach of this kind
Jay Williams is intense!

I fell in love with this documentary not because it's truthfully depicting where I was born and raised (and presently live); but because not just our youth, but ALL of the world needs to see positive actions instead of negative. This sheds a light on how we push, pull, and have an insatiable fight to live, surface, and thrive through the muck and mire; to beat the odds of poverty, death, and all the oppressive aspects and effects as result of other's bad decisions which affects the entire city. Thing is, all inner cities have similar stories. Newark, NJ has a rich history; and presently, not only tragedies, but there are very good aspects that happens as well! My heart goes out to Quan Quan. His family puts so much pressure on him to "take them out of the hood"..He is a child, and it is not his responsibility to support his entire family financially! At any rate... Beautiful documentary about the natives and spirit of Newark, NJ. I'm subscribed!
Tiffany Monet they repin nj for us
It's about time the NBA dropped some quality content. FINALLY!!!!
I am a coach and I live in a rural area and we fight the same battles, will push my kids towards success in life until I leave this earth

I'm hooked after watching this first episode. I love this. Real quality content.

I don't who the Director or Cinematographer for this Series is, but goddamn man. That shot where it just shows the kid looking as name after name gets called is one of the most beautiful and emotional shots I have ever seen. I'm not joking or exaggerating at all. I attend LA Film School and we study the emotions of various shots and that one is BY FAR the greatest one I have ever seen. There's no cuts, no edits, nothing. Just one camera pointed at that young man as he hopes to hear his name called. His dream of making the team shrinks with every name he hears. We have no idea if he made it or not, so we're hoping and praying he makes it also. What's amazing is that we don't even know his name yet. So every time we hear a name, it could be his. We would have no idea. So we're all focusing on his face because if a name is called and he starts smiling or walking towards center court, we know he's made it. LIterally had me emotional. Such a beautiful shot. AMAZING WORK!

My son use to play for central graduated 2014. Thank god he made it. He's married and lives in California.
This one of the most realist shi& ive ever seen. aye could i get a lifetime supply of LeBrons though???

I got paid 104000 bucks in last twelve months by doing an online job at home and I did it by working part time for several h on daily basis. I was following a money making model I was introduced by this web-site i found online and I am thrilled that i made so much extra income. It's so user-friendly and I am just so happy that i found it. This is what i did... *internationalproject49.com*
These documentary series are still legendary
The cutting part is always sad...It makes a huge difference in the direction some of these young men take their lives. Some get cut and excel and some get cut and make all the wrong the decisions. #GodBlessAll
This is great stuff. I can’t believe I actually got the pleasure to know Jay Williams and play soccer with him back when it was obvious he was a beast in basketball, yet because of how physically gifted he is he was good at soccer as well. This is such an amazing thing you are doing for these kids Jay, you got so much to give. May God bless you in everything you do.
we need more of this in every state!!! 100% love what they are doing!!!
When he walked away from the drugs i smiled.
my favorite part is seeing the real definition of brotherhood in this video. No other video will ever have a brotherhood bond like this one.
should be 2 hrs long😊 love the voices of the people.
inaccessible realm ikr
keep helpin these kids we need more people like you bro💯💪
This is an amazing thing. We need to empower our young black boys. Keep it up!
Skye Walker sadly, baskeball and rap is what we rely on to do so. They have the potential for so much more.
Skye Walker why black boys and not white and black
Sadic y not everyone?
Imback 2killu I said that
CountlessPWNZ Not me I'm a young black boy who want to be a biochemistry guy when I'm a adult and you know what everyone of my teacher wanted me to be that they saw that i could do that
To the kid's out here chasing that NBA dream remember this "AIN'T NOTHING IN THIS LIFE GOING TO HURT YOU MORE THAN THAT 🏀" WHEN THE DREAM IS GONE YOU HAVE TO STAY FOCUSED AND NOT TURN TO THE STREETS AT ALL GO TO SCHOOL GET A DEGREE & BE A COACH LIKE OG!!! EVERYBODY CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE NBA THAT'S JUST A HARSH REALITY ✌🏾✌🏾
Shallah joens >
Shallah joens fff
The biggest fact in this chat
How can the chasing the dream hurt you? If you focus on school as well
Husnain because most people like me thought sports was my only ticket to a good college yet alone success
I really learned from this. I've been interested in basketball since 2016. Never played in a real game until 2018. I played for the Amite County Lady Trojans in the middle of the season. Coach seen me play in the gym during P.E. and after P.E. she called me to the side and spoke to me about the game they were going to have the following day. She asked me would I like to play in the game... the first thing I said was, "No thanks, my dad doesn't have any gas at the moment." I felt terrible saying something like that but the truth tells no lies. && growing up, I had neither a mom or dad and I was adopted by my aunt and uncle. It gave me no other option then to play Basketball. I feel like what they didn't do, I can do. I feel like what they failed to do, I can successfully do. I have been suspended from school once but growing up I had no option but to defend myself and that's what I did and I know, the mistake I made CAN effect my Basketball dreams. Many people say I have a lack of knowledge, vocabulary and future. But in the end, I only have myself. I have an older sister and yes she pushes me to do better than her, but where are my parents? Trust me,, I can relate to many people's stories. I might not have heard all of your stories, but now you know mine. Thank you sooo much for sharing this with us!
that's what we want to see, not damn 2k
Tomson419 true man
lil will there be a day were young niggas move past baskeball and rap for coming up?
CountlessPWNZ well what do you suggest we do
Tomson419 lmaooo right
2k is ass
The fact that this show doesn't get mentioned with the best hoops movies/shows is an absolute crime I like this better than hoop dreams tbh
Gotta love how inspiring and positive jay williams is, and also how real the coach keeps it. Definitely deserves the "OG" nickname.
I am from Brazil, and here we have no tradition of playing basketball, or even enjoy. But with the NBA games I learned to watch and like, and I looked for more, and I discovered this series, and the love for this sport simply grew. It's a great job for the NBA and all the people involved in it.
This the real life Coach Carter.
Isaac Jones there is already a real life coach carter lol But maybe the east coast version
Press Woodard I'm such a fool
Isaac Jones You are forgiven my friend lol
Wait a minute, that is coach Carter. He's just got as much hair as he does intimidation.
Yeah bro the real Coach Carter wrote a book called “Yes Ma’am No Sir” and it’s a really good read I’d recommend it
Who watching during quarantine
Much love to Jay Williams he windmilled on me in high school 😂😂 showed him the picture recently
Great show need a season 2🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great Episode 1 ... looking forward to next week. My heart is in my chest on that ending. ugggh. I hope he's okay.

Love documentaries like this. I just hate how his aunt kept repeating “get us out the hood”, “get me a big house”, “get us outta here”...Damn, she chose her road why is it so much pressure on him to do for you what you should have done for yourself. Instead why not encourage him to do better than what’s around you rather it be basketball or a different road. That’s the problem with the black family. We tend to use people as a meal ticket. We put so much pressure on top of the current pressures of everyday life on one person. That’s why some of us don’t make it. His concern should be him. Getting himself out the hood, getting himself a big house not a big house for auntie, uncle and pookie them...
Mizz Hartway I think that it is more of motivation for them to be better than them but I see what you are saying
Mizz Hartway I think it’s just a way for motivated the boy
Mizz Hartway its motivation
Mizz Hartway every young black boy already wants to buy his folks a house and khange there inviorment, but i overstand what u mean.
lyle king You can look at it from a different angel. You think his aunts would have taken him in if he wasn’t a star basketball player??...
I'm happy this made my night I honestly didnt expect this to be in the place I live in though it touch me a lot
This is what we want to see ! Loved it NBA ! Keep this going ! I can watch a 100 episodes of these !!!
This is what will make me through my basketball career keep me trying the hardest I’m going into 7th grade tryouts
Goosebumps brother, hope, opportunity and empowerment saves lives, billion thumbs up!
Always felt that that motorcycle accident was to remind Jay he has a higher calling in life.
No longer “Why Me”, it became “Why NOT me” 💯
OMG this was so good. They did an awesome job creating this vision for us to watch.
It’s like a basketball version of Last Chance U
Well... these days they are making a Basketball Last Chance U coming out soon
Real talk for the last year, almost 2....Ive been really interested but on the fence with getting in a league to coach soccer. Myself playing soccer growing up as a kid, I've felt the victorious feeling of joy that winning a game brings. Ive witnessed hardships, blood and tears, the impossible made possible, adrenaline fueled excitement, first hand life lessons all being achieved when successfully overcoming obstacles as a team and now thinking and looking back, a family. Now that im grown up, The Joy a Coach must feel knowing through practice, exhibitions & ranked tournament, He himself was able to unlock each one of his players limitless potential for their future, all by using a sport they've all come to love. It brings unforgettable life long memories that each team player including the coaches, all their parents and close spectators will cherish and hold dear to themselves forever. Thats the feeling in the back of my head as a grown up that makes me want to experience building a sports family with new fresh memories all over again this time occurring from the opposite angle... The Coach.
I can feel Quan I'm going thru the same stuff he going thru homeless everything but God gives his toughest battle to his STRONGEST SOLDIERS God bless young bol
This is great tbh. Hopefully it keeps going.
RTD "i would love to see him fly in and flex his muscles " 😩😩😂😂😂💀💀

dEX LOL

Yeah lol I thought he was gonna airball
This shit is so entertaining I can’t even finish work and I’m a technician. Can ya drop these episodes at like 8pm lol so I can watch it when I’m off. Great episode and story , makes me want to teach football to the youth in my neighborhood I’m 24
That shit hit the bottom of the nets literally
This gives me motivation and this really touched my heart ❤️🏀💯.
How could somebody dislike this video,u really gotta disrespect the game and the work thats been putten in to that to be made so we could see the stuff thats been gone true peoples lifes

SALUTE TO OG 💪🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯
Bold and the beautiful
I give my upmost respect to the people involved in this program because it is easy to voice an opinion but to actually get involved with the youth is important because the world will be theirs. For the guys who got cut don't let that beat you ever! During your off season try other sports and find other talents.
Jay Will is the constant inspiration.
Aunt says: " Put me in a big house". Smh
What kind of pressure is that for an adult to put on a kid. How about you work hard and put yourself in a big house. That's the kind of stuff that's had so many pro athletes go broke. All of these leaches expecting to be saved.
Big Jubee Jubee I'm pretty sure they were joking but idk
Big Jubee Jubee Your blood ant who took you in is a leech
That was not the same aunt who he is living with. She's different from the lady we saw in the beginning
Wasnt his aunt
i wanna get my mom a big house tf
Keep reppin jersey ya dig
Jay Williams great addition to staff.
I love this shit...passion for our black youth...bring tears of joy to me literally
You are a very inspirational coach.. those boy's are lucky to have you...... just wanted to share my feelings on the subject.... keep it up!!!!!
Why do I feel like that principal actually cares about every kid in her school. Most principals aren’t like that, or as well spoken as her.
I clicked on this thinking it was a compilation of great plays and highlight shots. This was SO MUCH better. A portrait of the human condition, unfiltered.
Jay Williams seems like an amazing guy to be around.
At 18:05 It’s wrong for a parent to raise her child only for their own benefit.
They should make sure that their kid grows up to be a man or woman who can get a good enough job to support a family.
Parents shouldn’t tell their child that they have to get a reeeaaally high paying job to buy them a bigger house and luxury.
If the child chooses to go and get a really good job, then let him or her do so. But do not make it a priority.
Jay Williams Pre workout crazy intense
Pe aliculas vabquera@ s
That Kobe story gives me chills every time I 👂🏾 it.
My grandma is from brooklyn and my great grandparents live down there so we go there like every year
Job well done Coach OG 💪🏽💪🏽🏀
15:15 when that poor boys clap getting slower because his name wasn’t getting called. I hope he’s doing well!
I felt that one for him...I really did. I was almost in tears.
that sucked... "i jus feel empty now, i feel like i have nothin.. thats how i feel" hope he finds his jam
Failer is a good thing it motivates you to try out next year and get better every rich person say they have failed many times and it motivated them to become hungry and strive for success hopefully he finds his " inner hungry "
Vanessa Lugo yeah I noticed that poor kid was clapping slow, because his heart was broken not hearing his name getting called in the lineup
Art tutorial Visio
My hope for this series is that these kid's stories stop being just white noise. For Quan Quan at 16 years old to say, "My father has never been in my life. My brother is in and out of jail. It all falls on me"... is just insane. For Ze to say, 'I've lived in 10 different homes in the past couple of months".. puts me beside myself. So many of OUR youth have struggles similar to theirs and it's OUR job to not just support them but more importantly, to make it OUR responsibility to help them rise. To inform and show them that regardless of their circumstances, they can rise above the BS and strive for excellence in this life just like everyone else. This series is about seeking change for our youth and letting the world know that this is a priority. This series has changed my life. OG, Principal Brown and all the incredible people who are on the ground floor working with these kids on a day to day basis are the true stars. I salute them for their relentless effort to impact change. My mother was in the educational field her entire career and would always say.. "Some kids don't even know what they can achieve bc they never had a chance before they even got started". Well I say this.... No more!!!!! It's OUR job to be better. It's OUR job to be more for OUR youth. They ******** deserve it. They deserve OUR best. #TheTimeIsNow
14:10 poor kids that didn’t get picked I hope they are even more motivated and still working on the dreams God Bless them
This is good shit
