BASKETBALL OR NOTHING on NET-FLIX. The 6-part series follows a Navajo Indian high school team who might get to the state championships.
Episode 3: Chance of a Lifetime.
The Wildcats lose two games in a row and by mere points. Coach Raul Mendoza gets tired of this "Rez-ball" tactic of individual playing. He cracks down on defense and how they should depend on each other in the game. Slowly, but surely, his game plan sinks in and the team climbs back into the top rankings. It becomes exciting for the team and their home-town fans. It isn't time to settle down though because their aim is to win the state championship.
We get to see the team-player's struggle on the basketball court and off. Their personal lives are literally a fight in the Arizona desert. The fact that they have to travel miles to get water is "astounding." The families of athletes also have to sacrifice a lot so their kids can have a better life. It's very positive.
