Summary
From 1981 to 1983, the Dunbar High School boys' basketball team in Baltimore was arguably the best high school basketball team that ever played. Over two seasons, they went 59-0, and eleven players on their rosters went off to Division I programs. Four would become future NBA players: David Wingate, Reggie Williams, Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues and Reggie Lewis, three of them making history by being selected together in the first round of the 1987 draft. Directors Marquis Daisy and Sheldon Candis chronicle the journey of those four boys and their coach, who reached heights that they couldn't have imagined, even if their saga was capped by a tragedy that made some wonder how far they ever really got away.
