The young phenom, Lance Stephenson, is the focus of this clip from the upcoming film, Gunnin’ for that #1 Spot, directed by Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys. (Out June 27, 2008).

Stephenson is highlighted along with eight more of the country’s hottest high school basketball players as they play on the world’s most famous outdoor court: Rucker Park in Harlem — a place where nicknames are branded and legends are made.

Blending this next generation of b-ball players with a mix of raw hip-hop, jazz and break beats, Adam Yauch’s unique kinetic filmmaking makes Gunnin’ an explosively entertaining look at soon-to-be NBA All Stars.

The film also features Jerryd Bayless, Michael Beasley, Tyreke Evans, Donte Greene, Brandon Jennings, Kevin Love, and Kyle Singler.

Gunnin’ (Oscilloscope Pictures) hits theaters on June 27th, 2008.
