A story of loss, redemption and basketball, Second Chance Season follows 17-year old Nick Young (Washington Wizards) and his family, as they cope with the murder of Young's older brother, killed 13 years earlier. When Nick becomes one of the nation's top basketball recruits, the senseless killing pushes the family to place all its hopes in the basketball aspirations of its youngest son. As his hoop dreams become nearly an unbearable burden, Nick struggles to graduate and raise his SAT scores. Despite all his setbacks, Nick carries on, facing each challenge with the same qualities he displays on the court - grace, perseverance, and an indomitable spirit.

The Nick Young story
If you are a fan of Swaggy you will love this documentary. I wish the film quality was a little better but other than that, it is an interesting look at a player who is sometimes a bit misunderstood. The film shows the academic and emotional struggles Nick faces in high school after gang violence killed his older brother. I came away having respect for a player I already loved but appreciate even more because of his resiliency in the face of tragedy.

Second Chance Season Scores!
I saw this movie when it opened in Westwood and like Nick Young, it is a winner. A truly compelling story about a young man who wouldn't let any setback stop him from living out his dreams. Heartwarming as well as heartbreaking this movie is not to be missed. As one of Nick Young's high school teachers, I saw his story unfold in real life. This movie does a great job of capturing the real life drama that Nick had to overcome. Even if Nick Young had never played a single game in the NBA, he would be an American success story due to his fine character.
