The documentary Hooked: The Legend of Demetrius "Hook" Mitchell, released in 2003, traces the life of Demetrius Mitchell, who, at 5-feet-10, built his legendary playground status because of his amazing hops that enabled him to dunk 360 degrees over a late model Honda Accord car.
The writing is hackneyed, the casting bad, and the game scenes laughable. Don Cheadle is 5’8” and never convincing as a ball player—Manigault was only 6’1”, but he was a strong guy, although casting Cheadle’s son as the young Manigault makes for nice continuity and adds to the film’s believability.
The story of how "Hook" wound up incarcerated is told in this poignant tale of a life gone wrong by his NBA friends, his family and Hook himself. "Hook" Mitchell is considered one of the greatest basketball player to never make it to the NBA.
