Netflix’s latest documentary retells AND1‘s ascension as a streetball competition and an apparel line that dominated in the late ’90s and early 2000s.
Untold: The Rise and Fall of AND1 goes from AND1’s New York City origins to the nationwide AND1 Mixtape Tour with the help of streetball legends, including Professor, Hot Sauce, Skip 2 My Lou, The Main Event, Shane the Dribbling Machine.
The documentary’s director, Kevin Wilson Jr., stressed the importance of AND1 as well as the upcoming mini-series.
To tell the story of AND1 you have to tell the story of grit, passion, perseverance, and an undying love of the game of basketball.
Not only is this the story of streetball legends who kicked off a culture shifting movement and lived out their dreams to get paid to hoop when virtually everyone else shut them out. It’s also the story of regular people around the world who, because of AND1, finally gained access to the energy and pandemonium of in-person high skilled, high energy basketball.”
