Gunnin' For That #1 Spot

On September 1, 2006, the top 24 high school basketball players in the nation stepped out on the court to compete in the first annual Boost Mobile Elite 24 Hoops Classic. GUNNIN’ documents these athletes’ skills on the most legendary court in the world, showing never-before-seen footage of that ‘Elite 24’ game.

Directed by Adam Yauch (member of Beastie Boys & director of Awesome: I Shot That), the film follows 8 of the country’s premiere high school basketball players on the fast track to the NBA, as they are adored by fans, wooed by colleges and sneaker companies, and groomed to be in the spotlight of the multi-million dollar game. Blending this next generation of b-ball players with a mix of raw hip-hop, jazz and break beats, and Yauchs unique kinetic filmmaking, GUNNIN’ is an explosively entertaining look at soon-to-be NBA All Stars.
