The Spoils: Selling the Future of American Basketball
1h 27m
Overview
As the money inside the game of basketball explodes into a multi-billion dollar industry, the players - at every level - want their share of the spoils. And as every layer of the system becomes professionalized, the players are increasingly taught to see themselves as a business first. Featuring 10 years of radical access, THE SPOILS profiles America's premiere AAU program, the Compton Magic, and their visionary CEO, Etop Udo-Ema, as he chases powerful partnerships for his program and game-changing deals for his top-ranked players.
