Lenny Cooke Documentary Official Trailer (VIDEO)

In 2001, Lenny Cooke was the most hyped high school basketball player in the country, ranked above future greats LeBron James, Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony. In an era when high school stars were forgoing college hoops in favor of the potential multi-million dollar contracts promised in the NBA, Lenny was supposed to be the next superstar. He had the world at his fingertips. But over a decade later, while his peers are taking home MVP awards and Championship trophies, Lenny has never played a minute in the NBA. What went wrong?

Lenny Cooke will be playing at the Tribeca Film Festival this week in New York City.
