Synopsis

Above the Rim follows the untold story of Reggie Lewis, the Boston Celtics’ rising star whose talent, humility, and drive captured hearts on and off the court. In the early '90s, the NBA had no shortage of big personalities, but Reggie was different—an unassuming leader, a quiet force, and a rare role model to his teammates and fans. From his days growing up in Baltimore, where he used basketball to escape a life of poverty and violence, to his rise through Northeastern University and ultimately into the NBA, Reggie's journey is as much about character as it is about skill. Through personal triumphs, heartwarming relationships, and battles with the physical toll of professional sports, Above the Rim reveals a powerful story of perseverance and love for the game. But at its core, it also explores a shocking and tragic turn. Just as he reached his peak, Reggie was faced with a health crisis that no one saw coming—a heart condition that would ultimately take his life at the young age of 27. The film doesn’t just pay tribute to his achievements but sheds light on the fragility of dreams in the face of life’s uncertainties.
