In the concrete jungles of Montego Bay, Jamaica, 14-year-old Kyle Wilson doesn’t have much—just an absent father, a worn-out pair of shoes, and a rusted rim hanging behind his rundown school. But what he does have is height, heart, and hunger. When he stumbles across basketball for the first time, a fire ignites inside him. It’s not just a game. It’s escape. Identity. A way out.

Above the Rim, Below the Poverty Line is a coming-of-age sports drama that follows Kyle from the raw streets of Jamaica to the polished courts of America, and eventually to the world stage. But talent alone won't be enough. Poverty, violence, betrayal, and self-doubt lurk around every corner. This is a journey about more than basketball—it’s about survival, legacy, and the cost of chasing greatness.

The Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers.


All his life—gritty concrete, blood-stained alleys, bullet-whispers, broken nets—


"NOW INTRODUCING… THE BOSTON CELTICS!"


One by one, players ran through the fog.


But his heart? Pounding like a war drum.


First Quarter – Speed of the GameIme nodded to him with four minutes left in the first.


"Kyle. Let's see if the Reaper's real."


Kyle exhaled, rose, and peeled off his warmup.


Court felt like glass. Air like static.


The Sixers swung the ball. Harris pump-faked, drove—Kyle stayed with him.
