Demetrius "Hook" Mitchell also known as Waliy Abdur Rahim (born September 11, 1968 in Oakland, California) is a former streetball player. He is considered by several NBA All-Stars to be the greatest player to never reach the NBA.Hooked: The Legend of Demetrius "Hook" Mitchell is a documentary that was released in 2003. It traces the life of Demetrius Mitchell, who, at 5-feet-9, built his legendary playground status by jumping over the top of a Volkswagen car and slam dunking a basketball. The playground basketball star's descent into drugs and crime, however, destroyed any chance he had of becoming a professional athlete. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BASzaLlkDmM
great documentary, I've seen it, to see guys like Brian Shaw, Jason Kidd, and Gary Payton saying that this guy was better than all of them is shocking. Any basketball fan will absolutely be literally "hooked" on this movie once they see it.
I remember reading about him in a Slam magazine I had about the new school and the old school. My internet is very slow right now but I'll watch the vid later.
