Out of thousands, only a lucky 24 kids were chosen to go through a challenging 6 week training process with the hopes of making the final Rise team of 12 players - coached and inspired by NBA Stars Lebron James, Paul George and former Nat'l Team Coach Chot Reyes. The entire journey was captured on a reality TV show that aired nationally each week.
