  In Crossover: A Worldwide Basketball Odyssey the sport of basketball is a window into other worlds a celebration of culture and identity. Basketball's presence over the past 50 years has exploded across all seven continents and onto thousands of courts. This game has transcended borders and nationalities to become a reflection of how we live our lives; regardless of where we play the game or what language we speak. The film's use of spoken word poetry in place of traditional narration is designed to keep the storytelling connected flowing dancing - like the game itself. The complicated chore of interlocking verse with meaning and rhyme was achieved by some of the greatest young spoken word poets in the country who contributed to the script and their words are powerfully delivered by one of hip hop's greatest pioneers Chuck D of Public Enemy. Featuring interviews with top international players scouts coaches executives and basketball professionals including NBA legends Magic Johnson Charles Barkley Isaiah Thomas David Robinson and Jerry West
