The movie has great footage and interviews yet the structure and the VO really make this a 5 when it could've been an 8 easily.

Plot summary
"Manchild" is a documentary about a Los Angeles basketball legend by the name of Schea Cotton. There have been many stories told about Schea, and all of the ones about what he did on the court are true. This time though Schea and the people closest to him tell the story about what REALLY happened. A star studded documentary featuring Scoop Jackson, Paul Pierce, Baron Davis, Ron Artest, Tyson Chandler, Jason Hart, Stephen Jackson and Elton Brand to name a few. There is no such thing as a "lock" for the NBA because if that were the case Schea Cotton would be there, no doubt.

A few changes could've made this great
If you played ball in the '90's you know Cotton
I grew up around this time and had cut outs of Cotton on my bedroom wall in Vancouver. Kid was a myth to me and seeing that this documentary had been made was amazing. Always wondered what happened to him. This is definitely a cautionary tale and tragic. Hard to pin point where it all went wrong but he may have made the show and had a career like Harold Minor aka baby Jordan. Wonderful to see that he is using his god given talent to encourage, teach and mentor the next generation. Worth the watch.
Solid Basketball Documentary
I would certainly recommend this Doc for all basketball fans. I do vaguely remember Schea Cotton, and when this showed up on Amazon video, I figured I'd give it a watch. The story is presented well, and doesn't go overboard with the dramatic. It's a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of being a basketball legend. If you are a basketball fan, you will definitely like this documentary.
