Demetrius "Hook" Mitchell

Demetrius "Hook" Mitchell (born September 10, 1968) attended McClymonds High School in Oakland where he excelled in basketball. Hook was considered to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time to have never reached the NBA, due to his negative life choices.

Mitchell played streetball with future NBA stars including Jason Kidd, Gary Payton and Brian Shaw. They describe his amazing skills and unstable home life in the documentary film, Hooked: The Legend of Demetrius "Hook" Mitchell.

Mitchell was convicted of armed robbery, and after serving 51 months was released from prison in 2004. He went to the Golden State Warriors training camp, but was cut from the squad. He is the coach and founder of the Oakland Mountain Dew Xtreme, an AAU basketball team. ¹

And what did Shaw have to say about Oakland’s version of Earl “The Goat” Manigault?

“Hook could handle the ball with the Marburys and Iversons of the world. And he had the pure competitiveness of a Michael Jordan.”

Not mentioned yet is the fact that he was only 5’9 and was arguably the greatest dunker in the world before Vinsanity came around.

Hooked: The Legend of Demetrius ‘Hook’ Mitchell

Part cautionary tale, part tribute, “Hooked” tells the story of “the greatest basketball player to never make it into the NBA,” Demetrius “Hook” Mitchell. Hook is currently slam dunking behind bars while his childhood pals celebrate double-digit years in the pros. At a compact 60-odd minutes, docu boasts amazing archival and present-day footage of the legendary 5’9″ phenom in action. Pic should fare well on cable nets aimed at sports and/or black auds.

Helming team of Michael Skolnik and William O’Neill (“Jails, Hospitals and Hip-Hop,” “La Esquina Caliente”) capture an all-pervading spirit of compassion from everyone interviewed. Without exception, NBA stars like Gary Payton, Antonio Davis, Brian Shaw and Jason Kidd, old buddies out of Oakland, generously rate Mitchell’s talent as superior to their own.

The NBA stars all say the only thing that distinguishes them from Hook is that they had parents and a home, while Hook was
