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.

Event: Eastern Conference Finals, Game 3 – Boston Celtics @ Milwaukee Bucks


Morning – Fiserv Forum WalkthroughMilwaukee was cold. Even in June.


Kyle stepped onto the court hours before the game, crutches hanging from his forearms. The arena was empty except for a few interns rolling out cables and the distant echo of basketballs bouncing.


He made it to the baseline and stopped. Watched the Celtics go through light warmups. Watched Tatum working on his jab series. Watched Jaylen messing around with a one-handed floater.


"You here to steal my job yet?" he asked.


Udoka looked at him closely. "You look like your head's in ten places at once."


"I got a letter. Then records. From back home. About my father."


Udoka's expression didn't change. "You trying to figure out where you came from?"
