Executive produced by NBA star Kevin Durant, Reggie Rock Bythewood and Rich Kleiman, “Swagger” is inspired by Durant’s experiences and explores the world of youth basketball, and the players, their families and coaches who walk the fine line between dreams and ambition, and opportunism and corruption. Off the court, the show reveals what it’s like to grow up in America.
Check out the trailer below:
BOSSIP’s Sr. Content Director Janeé Bolden attended the show’s premiere earlier this week at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. She spoke to the show’s cast and crew about who brought the most swagger to the set and asked about the upswing in activism among athletes.
Check out her interviews below and on the flip.

“Swagger” is great in a lot of ways because it truly mirrors our current landscape — with social justice issues taking center stage of everything including athletics, and COVID creating new policies for live sports as well. We also love that actual sports organizations like Overtime Elite and their rep Larry playing into the plotline in a big way.
