The Long Game: Bigger Than Basketball

When Makur’s path to the NBA is derailed by COVID, he enrolls at Howard University to send a powerful message.

Makur and his Howard coach clash, plus an injury and the pandemic threaten to sideline his plans. A Pistons shake-up stuns Thon, Makur’s cousin.

After only a few games into the season, the Howard Bison make a tough call. And in a surprising turn, Thon heads back to the NBA.

Makur reunites with his guardian, Coach Edward, who must juggle the stress of a family medical matter while preparing Makur for the NBA Draft.

Hopes are high as Makur participates in the NBA Draft Combine and the Maker Mob welcomes a new member.
