Episode 1: The Oversized Underdog

Before he is "The Hawk," Connie Hawkins is a scrawny, bullied kid from Brooklyn called "Long Tall Sally." By 18, he transforms into the best high school player New York has ever seen. The University of Iowa wins the recruiting lottery, paying him $300 a month to attend. But when an investigation into a college betting ringleader named Jack Molinas drags Connie back to the city, his one shot at a better life is ripped away.
