A Kid From Coney Island

2020 • 89 minutes

About this movie

Coney Island, New York is famous for a few things: Nathan's Hot Dogs, Spike Lee's He Got Game, and a kid from the housing projects named Stephon Marbury. A boy, who at the ripe age of 5, was told that he was going to the NBA. He had the weight of the world on his shoulders given that his three older brothers (who were elite basketball players in college) never made pro. For Stephon, there was no choice, but to redeem his family name and build a global legacy in the sport of basketball, but not without its downfalls. From Executive Producer, Kevin Durant, A Kid From Coney Island is a fascinating and honest portrayal of the turbulent, yet inspiring career of Stephon Marbury.

Ratings and reviews

This was AMAZING!!! I know God wanted me to watch this one. So glad I did. What an amazing young boy who grew up to be an amazing man. It had me crying two or three times during the film. Inspiring!

Originally from Neptune 33rd st. Coney Island in my heart. Thank you Stephon Marbury & Marbury Family. Coney Island, only one way in and one way out.

He got a second chance and made the best of it. Very emotional
