BASKETBALL OR NOTHING on NET-FLIX. The 6-part series follows a Navajo Indian high school team who head toward a possible state championship.
Episode 2: Getting Defensive
The team is now being pushed by Coach Raul Mendoza to stop this "Rez-ball" tactic. They lose their next game by one point because they can't play defense correctly. They aren't a team on the court in either direction. Raul shows them all "on camera" and what they're doing wrong. It begins to seep into the team's subconscious mind. "Rez-ball" individual play isn't going to cut it.
The coaches also see natural talent inside a top player. He doesn't see the potential in himself because he doesn't believe in "himself." It shows on the court and in the locker room. All the coaches can do is support them because the other side of the Indian Reservation is not good. Crime, alcohol and drugs. Meth has now become the new abusive drug that strangles teen natives.
