Sense the strong sense of brotherhood and family that underpins the Compton Magic programme, with coaches, players, and families all deeply invested in each other's journeys.

In this episode, we meet Caleb, a talented but undersized point guard who is fighting for a college scholarship, and Ray, another player who must prove himself against more highly touted teammates.
