As the money inside the game of basketball explodes into a multi-billion dollar industry, the players - at every level - want their share of the spoils. And as every layer of the system becomes professionalized, the players are increasingly taught to see themselves as a business first. In this largely unregulated, player-empowered “NIL” era, 'THE SPOILS' fearlessly confronts the fundamental question: what happens to the sport when the game itself becomes secondary?

Shattering every notion of ‘amateurism’ at any level of the sport, 'THE SPOILS' peels back the layers of corporate influence to paint an honest, foundational portrait of America’s basketball infrastructure. The film charts a novel blueprint for players seeking to maximize their value, exposes the corporate incentives that drive the system, and initiates a vital conversation around how America’s basketball factory might be reimagined to better serve the kids that fuel it.
