Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times "A Kid from Coney Island" proves to be as surprising and affecting as the unorthodox career trajectory of its subject, basketball player Stephon Marbury. Mar 12, 2020 Full Review Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association Under the prying eye of doc directors Coodie Simmons and Chike Ozah, viewers watch a very talented man withstand the death of a parent, depression, a career that stalls and a surprisingly spiritual path to redemption. Rated: 3/4 May 6, 2019 Full Review Jason Clinkscales Decider Does an admirable job in tackling the complex legacy of the Brooklyn-born basketball prodigy beyond the low points most fans have long been familiar with. Jun 2, 2022 Full Review Jeff Ames ComingSoon.net Surprisingly packed with emotion and plenty of insight into the darker world of professional sports, this documentary hits hard in its endeavors to clear the air on one of sports' more controversial figures. Rated: 9/10 Mar 12, 2021 Full Review Lynnette Nicholas Common Sense Media Inspiring sports docu shows value of perseverance. Rated: 4/5 May 4, 2020 Full Review Joey Magidson AwardsCircuit.com One doesn't have to be a basketball fan to find a core of deep fascination and reflexivity in "A Kid From Coney Island."

Audience Member Good to see a documentary on someone making it in life in the NBA. Would have been great to see him take responsibility as a teammate. Had his family and friends giving excuses of why he bounced around the NBA and pointing fingers elsewhere for his failures. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
