The highly anticipated Youtube Original Series Best Shot launches today (July 18th, 2018) on the NBA Youtube Channel. The all-new eight-part series follows former NCAA champion and NBA standout, Jay Williams, as he returns to his home state of New Jersey to join Newark's Central High School boys basketball coaching staff. Alongside longtime head coach Shawn McCray, they'll chase the school's first state championship in over a decade while working together to mentor the players through their own unique challenges and personal conflicts.
More than a basketball documentary, Best Shot is a powerful and inspiring journey into the lives of a group of young athletes working to RISE above the unique challenges and personal conflicts they face on and off the court.
Best Shot stars Newark's Central High School basketball team, Jay Williams, and head coach Shawn "OG" McCray.
The series is executive produced by LeBron James and Maverick Carter of SpringHill Entertainment, Boardwalk Pictures ("Chef's Table," "Lance Chance U") and Warner Bros. Television Group's digital studio Blue Ribbon Content and directed by Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker, Michael John Warren (Fearless, Jay-Z Fade to Black, Drake: Better Than Good Enough).
