Hoop Dreams The Podcast is hosted by Arthur Agee and William Gates, the stars of the acclaimed, 1994, Hoop Dreams Documentary. The hosts reflect on their journey since the release of the film, how it affected them and their families and speak with other professionals about what they went through, while striving to reach the top of their own careers, in the sports, fashion and entertainment fields.

A Hoop Dream is defined as the pursuit of excellence in your chosen field. Will and Arthur dive into the origin stories of men and women, from the sports, entertainment and fashion industries, who are chasing their own versions of a Hoop Dream. From college and pro athletes to journalists and broadcasters, to actors, musicians and designers, they dive into the back stories, the struggles and the accomplishments and the perseverance it takes to overcome the obstacles thrown at you in the attempt to reach the pinnacle of your profession.

This is an exploration into the business of sports and entertainment, the social inequalities and choices young people face and the pressure from the agents, teams, studios and brands that pursue them. We celebrate the achievements and look ahead to each guests next chapter in their own personal Hoop Dream journey
