“Lenny Cooke” Drives Points Home

January 8, 2014 by Ronnie Flores Leave a Comment

“Lenny Cooke” is a documentary about the quick rise, and dramatic downward spiral, of an early 2000’s high school basketball standout from Brooklyn with aspirations of being a first round selection in the 2002 NBA Draft.
