The Last Shot

Storyline

Many people dream of one day becoming a professional basketball player, but few achieve that lofty goal. This docuseries profiles American and Mexican basketball players whose careers have been derailed on the way to the top. Some of them travel to Mexico for one last chance at making a living by playing the game they love. "The Last Shot" follows teams that travel throughout rural Mexico playing in cash-prize tournaments, where the rules are always changing, fights and corruption are common, and cartels get involved in the competitions. It's not necessarily about winning the tournaments, though, as the players are hoping to be spotted by professional scouts that can help them try to resurrect their broken dreams.
