Since most on this board are die hard hoop fans, thought I would create a thread about this great show. It's premise is basically the world of high school and AAU recruiting and how the sneaker companies control a lot of what happens

The acting is phenomenal, and stars O'Shea Jackson ( Ice T son) and a great ensemble of high school all -stars. This is basically Friday Night Lights for basketball produced by Reggie Rock along with Kevin Durrant as a co producer

My daughter was involved in the production of the show. She did the extras casting. Ironically, I haven’t watched a single episode.

I think the acting is great and a few of these kids will be stars. I wonder who your daughter thinks will be the Michael B. Jordan of the show - the lead character is pretty damn good

Ok, first of all O'Shea Jackson is Ice Cube not Ice T.

Second, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Ice Cube's son, is in Swagger.

Third, Swagger is loosely based on Kevin Durrant's story.

Dude - I love the show and have confused the 2 of them for 10 years . I know O'Shea was in Straight Outta Compton based on his dad and NWA.

Regardless - the show is pretty awesome

Ice T is actually from NJ. I'm shocked that someone on this board would mix him up with Ice Cube.

No love 😔
>Ice-T was born Tracy Marrow on February 16, 1958, in Newark, New Jersey. He moved to Los Angeles, California, to live with his paternal aunt after the death of his father while he was in the sixth grade;
Ice-T currently resides in North Bergen, New Jersey, with his wife, Coco Austin.<
