Rocket: A Hoop Dreams Journey - 8695

Dante "Rocket" D’Angelico, a basketball prodigy from the gritty streets of South Philly, rises from the courts of Seger Park to the heights of European basketball stardom. Born to an Italian father and an African American mother, Dante’s journey weaves through cultural intersections, family loyalty, and personal redemption. From navigating the allure of the NBA, the pressures of college sports, and the shadows of organized crime, to finding love in Naples and giving back to the community that raised him, Rocket’s story is one of resilience and hope. Set against the vibrant backdrops of Philadelphia, Chicago, and Italy, this tale of ambition, identity, and second chances reminds us that success is not measured by trophies but by the impact we leave behind. "Rocket" is a heartwarming and inspiring story about family, faith, and the unbreakable bond between a man, his city, and the game he loves.
