What started out as a journey about one player quickly turned into a story about all the players, and what it means to be a "brooklyn basketball player". Shortly after production began and into the 2013 season, it was clear that it was more than simply Isaiah and his promise and potential.  Once that history of brooklyn basketball began to protrude immensely, alongside the prominent history of Lincoln high, Isaiah's teammates and their stories became too important and interesting to forgo, the narrative took shape around all four of the seniors and where they would ultimately move forward to.

The concept of "making it" came out of multiple interviews and conversations and research, and ultimately became our mission statement for following all 4 teammates through their final senior season at Lincoln. The realization that former Brooklyn Greats should be our narrators came shortly thereafter.
