Season One ends with a look at Spike Lee's legacy piece on basketball, He Got Game. Biggs and Aaron (two white guys) talk about racism, masculinity, and prison (see also: the collegiate sports industrial complex) to the sounds of Aaron Coppland and Public Enemy, what could be more American than that? Basketball puts everything into motion (often poetic slow motion!) including family, community, identity, and money; there are vulnerable and complicated men as well as predictable and disposable women; lurking behind it all we find questions of fatherhood and discipline with one question bookending it all: who will play guard?
