Sebastian Telfair was touted as a basketball prodigy when he was in junior high school. This movie, produced by ESPN Entertainment, shows clips of young Sebastian playing on the basketball courts of the Coney Island housing projects. Telfair's star was helped along through his family: his cousin is the New York Knicks point guard, Stephon Marbury and Telfair's brother, Jamel Thomas, was a basketball star for Providence College in the late 1990s. Thomas was not drafted into the NBA and this rejection crushed the hopes of the family and community.
