THE GOAT

Earl Manigault is a streetball icon who was looked at as one of the best basketball players not to reach the NBA. In this short documentary we will undercover the type of player and person he was through the lense of some players, refs, family, and people who watched him in action. We will discover what led to his downfall- dealing with drugs, while addressing the Harlem lifestyle in the late 1970s and 80s that contributed to it; while on the opposite hand reveal how his name is still being lived on through his tournament that takes place in this infamous 'Goat Park' on 99 and Amsterdam on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.This 20 minute documentary will outline a portion of who he was, why he didn't achieve great success on an nba scale, and how kids and ball players today are influenced on the positives he produced before he left the world.

Nice Work! There needs to be a movie made about the man's life.

[@papamato9994]

They did. Rebound:The Legend of Earl "The Goat" Manigault is a movie about his life from 15 years old until he started the Goat Tournament. It's an excellent movie.
