The Jonathan Hock documentary "Through the Fire" tracks the Coney Island product's evolution from high school phenom to NBA lottery pick. Along the way, Telfair contemplates a scholarship offer from Rick Pitino at the University of Louisville, struggles with the violence of his Brooklyn neighborhood and consumes himself with the desire to get his family out of the projects.

Having seen cousin and NBA star Stephon Marbury make it, Telfair knows big league dreams are within reach. However, Telfair's greatest source of inspiration is his older brother Jamel Thomas, who serves as a cautionary tale of just how elusive an NBA career can be.

  • im laughing at losers on here saying he should have walked away from millions. who do you know thats been poor their entire life would walk away from millions? or delay millions for that matter.

    go play in college for free and help some school make millions? and your family is poor?

    that college shit yall talking is dumb. he's getting millions to play the bench.

    he basically an intern getting paid.

    now get up for the dead end job losers!

  • cant hate on someone that tryin to give his family a better situation. no matter how much u get paid in the nba u still getting more more than any 9-5 job a year.

  • he has everything a superstar needs.... except a jump shot... oh and defense .. oh and pretty much everything!

  • man i love this guy and he is a vey good player...but you have to admit he is one of the NBA's biggest busts

  • @MrPhillyrick1 word up son! it would have been selfish of him to think about going to college to grow as a player instead of taking the money to help his family. family first my dude, everything else is secondary! and its not even guaranteed he would have become a pro if he went to college.

  • @TheCking292 nah the sole has black on them..

  • See his little brother? Got busted for having loaded weapons at age 16

  • @nando88 Yup, hopefully he's a good back up and learns from one of the best, Steve Nash.

  • Welcome to the Phoenix Suns
