While many viewers are familiar with the broad strokes of the amateurism debate, they rarely get to see the issue explored so intimately. In one scene, four-star basketball recruit Beatty stares at the collection of sneakers from brands like Under Armour and Nike that he’s amassed at various showcases and events. He estimates that they’re worth thousands of dollars — enough to grant his struggling family some much-needed relief — but notes that he can’t sell them because doing so would mean risking an NCAA violation and forfeiture of his amateur status.
